The discussion of Jonathan Wilson’s book, The Red Balcony, last night, was really fascinating and I’m sorry so many of you missed it.  It seemed that when I transferred hosting to Michael, he didn’t realize that he had to admit people and maybe the requests got lost.  

Anyway, I had been nervous about speaking and allowing people to enter at the same time before Michael turned up and as soon as he came in, he decided my microphone was no good so he muted me.  

That made for a strange interview.  

Nevertheless, the book is fascinating and the discussion was even better.  The subject I wanted to discuss was the interrelationship between the political confusion and the romantic one.  It is a subject close to my heart and this blog – the way a personal life is inseparable from its political and cultural environment.  That’s why I write about my day-by-day life and the events determining this life as one.  I would welcome your thoughts on this.
