This is off topic from perfume... but I thought you might enjoy my only published story (in the James White Review Fall 1992) I guess you could say it is the Memory part of Scents Memory.
GLAMOUR BOWL
Near death and on a constant morphine drip Theo passed from the hospital bed to his past on a regular basis. When cognizant of the present he knew what was happening.
This is a story by Lanier Smith, whose blog is a joy to read. Ordinarily he writes fragrance reviews that are part review, part vignette. Sometimes he evokes old Hollywood, sometimes a dusty afternoon at the Casbah. His writing is delicious. The story he posted today was beautiful and moving, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It's a bit long but it's well worth the read.
Hi Madame. A cool and poignant piece of writing. I’ve never seen his blog before – thanks. Have a great weekend, I insist
Cheers!
I hope you’ve been having a lovely weekend as well, Nigel. And I’m glad you enjoyed Lanier’s story!
That was an unexpected treat. Such incredible talent showcased in that one short story — thanks for reflagging that.
My pleasure, Grippy—it was too much of a beauty not to share.
Cool story Weebly. Thanks for posting it. xo
And thanks for reading, Wendy!
Oh, a new blog to read and a great short story! Thanks, Weebs.
His blog is great, Brigitte—even if you don’t wear perfume (and/or Hubby doesn’t wear cologne), his posts are a great read!
And lo, the lord beheld the Lanier, and found that he was good… Thanks for spreading the the Word, Madame Weebles! Hugs, V
I am happy to be a Disciple of Lanier, Vickie!
Wonderful – thank you for pointing us to it…
You’re quite welcome, Valerie–it’s a lovely story, I wanted to share!
