Roberto Bolaño

"The two of them wept like characters from different movies projected on the same screen."

From "Praise to the Highways" by Roberto Bolano, translated by Natasha Wimmer. Praise to the Highways will be published in English next year by New Directions.

Every once in a while a sentence or a thought really resonates. The line above is perfectly and clearly descriptive yet remains intriguing. I think this is a pretty neat trick.

It's my Old MacDonald app!

Check it out: paintings and animations by me and song by Jill Sobule, it's the world's first happysmart app for kids.




But don't take my word for it, rush right out to the app store and buy a dozen or so. And don't forget to leave a good review.
