A woman recalls a sleepless fling in Rome.

(from Indelible Acts, on loan from the Juliet Fletcher Library)

A mostly fun, occasionally surprising and often dirty little story. The characters exist in the real world, but pretend to live in some hazy fantasy. Makes for a pleasant, non-linear read.

The word in this sentence that looks different from all the others is a link to an essay Kennedy wrote about writing. It’s so very long. I have not read it.

I told a friend that I am tired of writings about writing, movies about struggling to make movies, plays about putting on a play, books about writers, poems about being a poet. I told her I want a movie about making a cake. She suggested a movie about making all kinds of cakes might work better.

I would love a piece of cake right now.
