It's Tour de France time once again, and regular readers know that can mean a slight drop in timely posting around here. (Couple that with the fact of a newborn plus moving house yet again next Monday, and things might be a bit spotty here in the days ahead.)
For those new to the Tour, we direct you to this primer, notable for its mention of a certain South African cyclist we admire:
I once asked artist William Kentridge if he’d ever met JM Coetzee. Once, he said, in Chicago.
“We spoke about the Tour,” Kentridge said. “He is a knowledgeable cyclist and I am a couch potato — my daughter and I love sitting and watching the hill climbs — so we had a lot to talk about.”
(Speaking of Coetzee, the film adaptation of Disgrace has won a prize at the Taipei Film Festival.)
You are a moving maniac!
