To any of my readers who actually read: I was asked to be a contributor to a wonderful literary site of personal non-fiction called TheNervousBreakdown.com. After a week of really mulling it over, I’ve finally published my first piece, entitled, ““The Overnight from Lisbon”. Here is its first paragraph:
“The story of ‘my most-memorable train ride’ is often elicited, and appropriately renamed, by many differing topics of conversation. Sometimes it’s somebody talking about how drunk they got one night, or how paranoid. Occasionally, it’s just a mention of hash, or how hash is more prevalent in Europe than it is in America. On these occasions I sometimes change the tale to include words like devilish or exotic, giving it a more melodramatic air, and am sure to mention the many strange smells that passed by my nose that night. My favorite point of entry is when somebody brings up chardonnay, or languages, or anything to do with translation, because it always gives me warrant to start the story early enough to really set up the wonder and horror of the night.”
