the house of sleep

I had a dream last night that Jonathan Coe died suddenly and I was so sad and devastated, I couldn't imagine not reading anything new by him any more. I remember meeting him last autumn at that little theatre in psyri, I asked for a personal dedication and he didn't refuse despite the long queue. I was so excited afterwards, I had a signed book from of one of my top-five british writers, hurray! So, I had to check on everyone of my favourite writers this morning and they are all fine, silly me :-)
