Reading Proust in Arizona
Aside from the warm weather, this would be a good week for Proust fans to be in Arizona! Hey, it's not all guns, cacti and canyons. I love Arizona, the scenery and the sky and the warmth. Here is the link:
Proust in Arizona
You find people celebrating Proust in the farthest corners. Flagstaff as well as Foxborough. Isn't it wonderful?
I spent a fantastic week in Flagstaff at the Indian Powwow many many years ago, a week I should write about. The area around Flagstaff purportedly has mystical powers. The peaks (San Francisco, I think, but memory is treacherous) are holy. Sedona is so lovely it breaks your heart, all those red rocks, the high desert, the light, the possibilties.
