Nouvelle Suffering

Pizzeria Ragazzi

On the picture you see a few of my students in my room in Hotel Sacher last night.
Before this final gathering we had dinner at Pizzeria Ragazzi where my friend Sigi and her friend Marlene joined us.
As I said before thirteen of my students have written an essay for the book “Nouvelle Suffering” which will be published this fall in the Netherlands, and now with this trip to Vienna our project is closed.
I feel a little melancholy, which I think proves that the weekend in Vienna can be considered a success.
And maybe in seven years they’ll write a sequel “Nouvelle Suffering II” -- or, who knows.

Yes, strangely enough, if the weekend were a failure one should have felt relief…
Ah, and the delicious Sacher Torte… Pure melancholy.
I would want to study literature just to feel that same melancholy you're feeling right now. Instead, I wrote about On Chesil Beach and cried over a lost love.
The best way to chase melancholy or disappointment is cleaning the bathroom.
Mine will be spic and span in a few hours.
Melancholy should be accepted.
I am aware of that.
The best way to get yourself to cleaning the bathroom
is thinking it chases away melancholy.
My bathroom does well out of it.
