“foreknowledge & memory”

“…the steady climb, bare land either side, and ahead, on a soft blue sky, the moment of going over. She had in her an intensifying presentiment, a mix of foreknowledge and memory, a place, a state out of childhood into which she was advancing with the sureness of a sleepwalker. Imminence! The brink of a vision of freedom!” –David Constantine, “Fault”, from Tea at the Midland.

    Thank you *so* much for the heads-up on this, MJH.

    I loved “The Shieling” so much I bought two copies so that I could press it into the hands of strangers & still not be without it, & I didn’t realise he had a new one out.

    Thanks again mate.
