March 23, 2007 - 8:38 PMHello World! I'm going to the UK next week, so there won't be any retro reviews the next two weeks. Given that The Next Generation season one is exactly as painful as I remembered, this probably won't be a great loss to anyone. Plus I get to see the first two episodes of the third season of Doctor Who while I'm overseas, and we're going to be in Cardiff, where Torchwood films, so I have plenty of sci-fi fangirling in my immediate future.
I am, however, the only one of my fannish friends going to London this month who is not going specifically to see Daniel Radcliffe in Equus, Jason Isaacs in The Dumb Waiter, or both. Perhaps I am not a serious Harry Potter fan, or perhaps I don't want to risk messing up my mental image of Harry Potter as a young man erotically fixated on horses before Deathly Hallows arrives in July. (Note to Christian: I am not writing any news that Saturday, I'll be reading and avoiding the internet entirely so no one can spoil me.)
I've just finished Andre Aciman's Call Me By Your Name, one of the most extraordinary love stories I've ever read. One of my favorite sentences in the novel, which is packed full of wonderful phrases, is one that I think people here may appreciate: "If I put my foot on the floor and pretend that his is just behind the leg of the table, will that foot, like a starship that has turned on its cloaking device, like a ghost summoned by the living, suddenly materialize from its dimple in space and say, I know you've beckoned. Reach and you'll find me?"
