The two postcards feature in my next book and a new talk - Travels with my (great-great) aunt. One of the locations featured in The English Patient and one of the characters in The Dictionary of Lost Words help tie it all together in a tenuously satisfying way. https://t.co/mr5H4H0pY1

Tonight’s Negroni is made with plum gin. I raise my glass to all of you this Saturday night and to Michael Ondaatje, who used the plum to great effect in his masterpiece, The English Patient (a novel beloved by everyone and a movie beloved by everyone except Elaine Benes). https://t.co/Zw0iw2jIJV
