![]() ![]() ![]() My own attraction to the idea stems from the fact that, as a storyteller, there is a far greater challenge to keep my reader engaged if they already know how the story will unfold. But good or interesting stories always end up being re-told, for the simple fact that each new storyteller has the ability to use a fresh set of eyes to see things in a new way, and to tell things from a different point of view. ![]() I’ve long been fascinated by the challenge of writing a novel that is based on a well-known story or myth.

Most Americans are thoroughly convinced there is another person in their direct vicinity who truly needs and wants our unwanted clothes. And this is just a small portion of the cast-offs of one single Salvation Army location in one city in the United States. ![]() The Quincy Street Salvation Army builds a completed wall made of 18 tons, or 36 bales, of unwanted clothing every three days. Clothing stores completely separate us from this reality, and a “rag-cut” room brings it home in an instant. Smashed together like this, stripped of its symbolic meaning, stacked up like bulk dog food, I was reminded that clothing is ultimately fiber that comes from resources and results in horrifying volumes of waste. I saw tags for Old Navy, Sean Jean, and Diesel peeking out of the bales, as well as slivers of denim, knits in bright maroons and bold stripes, and the smooth surfaces of Windbreakers. The cubes were then lifted and moved via forklift to the middle of the room, where a wall of wrapped and bound half-ton bales towered. In the rag-cut room, two men were silently pushing T-shirts, dresses, and every other manner of apparel into a compressor that works like the back of a garbage truck, squeezing out neat cubes of rejected clothing that weigh a half ton each. ![]() ![]() Fanny was staying there with her daughter Belle and son Leon. They met in 1876 at an artists’ gathering at the Hotel Chevillon in Grez-sur-Loing, on the fringes of the Fontainebleau forest. The woman constantly on his mind was Fanny Osbourne. He must have thought about this a great deal when setting out on a journey through the French Cévennes, consumed as he was by pent up sexual longing of which he did not openly speak. ![]() In this respect he believed France to be the most civilised country in Europe, showing up a British outlook ‘blinkered by chaste puritanism and prejudice’. His stepson Lloyd Osborne wrote that Louis was attracted to the French ‘universal indulgence towards all sexual problems – their clear-sighted toleration of everything affecting the relations of men and women’. The French attitude that considered art to be an essential part of ordinary life seemed more adult to him. ![]() And like many Scots, he had an affinity with France, feeling free and at home there.

As he worked to put things back in order, the sounds of the voices in the crowded room floated by him, but he didn't really pay attention until a soft, West End, very feminine voice penetrated his consciousness. He hadn't eaten all day, and his mouth watered at the thought of an underdone beefsteak, a plate of chips, and a pint of ale, but he couldn't tolerate the idea of leaving his desk in a mess. He was supposed to meet Billy and Rob at the pub for his birthday in half an hour.
