![]() Maybe I haven’t thought this through…Jonno, these films are fantastic, they’re perfect. “We don’t always have time to think, we just live! Of course a filmmaker can depict what you call quirkiness, but it is still just canned. In a chapter called “Videomania” the two ladies watch films on Jonno’s video player together, Truffaut, Bergman, Visconti, Renoir, Wilder, Fassbinder, etc. There are empty spaces that must be respected – those often long periods when a person can’t see the pictures or find the words and needs to be left alone.” “They never asked, ‘Were you able to work today?’ Maybe they had, twenty or thirty years earlier, but they’d gradually learned not to. Here are two female artists going about their creative work separately, each having some good productive days and other days not so worthwhile. ‘Fair Play’ is ultimately a love story between these two women, told in short understated vignettes.įrom the Wikipedia entry for Tove Jansson, ‘Fair Play’ seems quite autobiographical and perhaps based on her long-term friendship with Tuulikki Pietila. They argue and annoy each other frequently, yet there is a quiet center between them that enhances both of their lives. They each live separately on opposite ends of an apartment building on an island off the southern coast of Finland. Mari is a writer, and Jonno is an artist. ‘Fair Play’ is about the friendship between two middle-aged women, Mari and Jonno. ![]() Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. ‘Fair Play’ by Tove Jansson (1982) – 100 pages ![]()

But I gotta say, writing stories is a lot more satisfying. In Italy I’m pretty renowned for my copywriting and marketing manuals, that topped the Amazon and Kobo charts, and recently have been selected among the top Economy books in the Prime Reading program. Almost two years – and a short story collection project ditched in the trashbin later – I’m proud to announce my first novel is about to launch. Since I decided to write fiction I delved right in, studying and practicing like crazy. So far in 2020, me and Paola had our first child and bought a house □ ![]() In 2019 I became a national bestseller, and I got married. What did I do in the meantime? In 2018, I was busy scaling my copywriting agency up to 15k/month in revenue, and moving twice from the North-West to the North-East of Italy. I gotta say I lost interest in reviewing other people’s books or in journaling about my travels.

He’s also still taking some private commissions, and one of them involves hunting down the would-be bride of the much-older and creepily-obsessed Lord Radnor. Nick Gentry is three years into his forcible reformation as a member of the Bow Street Runners, atoning for his past as a criminal mastermind. ![]() Unfortunately, with so little to play against, he’s not exactly showing to his best in this book, either, and so the whole thing just ends up feeling like it missed the mark. And that’s a shame, because Nick Gentry deserved better. It’s not that there’s anything really wrong with her - there are just ways in which I feel she lacks substance, and that makes this the weakest of the three Bow Street Runners novels. I think it’s because I don’t care as much for the heroine as I might. Title: Worth Any Price (Bow Street Runners #3) ![]() ![]() ![]() They feel more burdened, because they’ve been given a to-do list. “Oftentimes, people don’t leave worship services feeling like that. They’re reminded that everything you need, God has done for you in Jesus and given to you,” said Tchividjian. “Church is the one place where people who are weary and heavy-laden should be able to come and find rest, so that when they leave they feel lighter that the pressure’s off. Billy Graham, says he believes the Christian Church has gone off course, and that he is praying for a new reformation.Ĭalling 16th century German theologian Martin Luther one of his heroes, Tchividjian recently told The Christian Post that he believes the church has been placing an unbiblical, and burdensome, emphasis on “performancism,” instead of sticking to “Sola gratia,” or as he puts it, “one way love.” Tullian Tchividjian, pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and the grandson of the Rev. ![]() |
