Looks good! - thanks for the tip.. Yes, worth the trip. In the nearby Millennium Gallery there's also an ex. called Recording Britain which I recommend: http://www.museums-sheffield.org.uk/museums/millennium-gallery/exhibitions/current/recording-britain-1 And the permanent collection of the Graves Gallery, which is showing the Polish art, has some gems in it.

Were they recording the night I was there? I don't know, but as this was a one-off at the Free Trade Hall, I know for certain I was in the audience :-)

Read this after recently watching the French film of the book, L'ennui. A bit of a let-down after months of reading the superb mid-20th century prose of Iris Murdoch, Elizabeth Taylor, Elizabeth Bowen, etc to move to the less-than-distinguished English of a translator!

Saw exhibition in Sheffield of contribution to art in Britain by Polish emigrés. Got to do something to offset the current UKIP populist mania! http://www.museums-sheffield.org.uk/museums/graves-gallery/exhibitions/current/pole-position-polish-art-in-britain-1939%E2%80%931989

When you've finished, give Oryx and Crake a try. Reminds me of when I was a kid and mom said no more books at the breakfast table. I had the Cap'n Crunch box memorized within a week... That's where I learned French - off the HP bottle: "Cette sauce de haute qualité ... " :-)
