MORE ON THE GRANTA SSA

I've been observing how my husband seems to be able to read a hell of a lot more books than I have and come to the conclusion that a writer's life is one that is so busy that the love of reading that prompted one to begin writing in the first place somehow gets perverted by the need to find time to write. Plus that awfully analytical thing that comes into play when I begin reading... and then I wish for the innocence of non-writers.

Anyway, I've been noticing my husband ploughing through the Granta Book of the Short Story edited by Richard Ford... Over Here and wishing... and then this morning I opened to his bookmark (my husband's) and read the short story by Kevin Canty, a wonderful piece of fiction titled 'Blue Boy'.
