Bedtime Story Conservatory 2 28/03/2020
Hei!
I hope everyone who listened to the recording yesterday enjoyed it, and if you didn't listen don't worry, as I said before, dip in and out when you wish. I hope all of your days have been good, and if they haven't, I hope you feel better now or in the very near future. I'm sending my love.
Today's reading is from George Perec's Species of Spaces and Other Pieces, particularly sections 2 and 3, 'The Bed' and 'The Bedroom'. The two sections describe his pondering on current and past bedrooms. It is attached as an MP3 file.
Despite the morbid themes that his work is rooted in, this excerpt is quite soothing and relevant.
From Google:
"Georges Perec was a French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist. He was a member of the Oulipo group. His father died as a soldier early in the Second World War and his mother was murdered in the Holocaust, and many of his works deal with absence, loss, and identity, often through word play."
With love,
Sam
