Joseph Streiter

My landlady is the grand-grand-granddaughter of Dr Joseph Streiter, in his times a very distinct personality, for some time he's also been the mayor of Bolzano. In the local library I found some of his writings: some novels, dramas, essays.

Readings: Vikram Seth

Excursion in the Alps in the 1930ties - photograph in Two Lives by Vikram Seth, a very interesting narration of human destinies in the last century.

Last night I finished reading this outstanding book by Vikram Seth. Some month ago I had the pleasure to read his An Equal Music, a marvellous novel about music (classical) and musicians in contemporary Europe. It's quite unique!

What's that?

It's a new personal computer. Despite the statement above (underlined red) I made it run with Win98!

... some 50 years ago!
