That one doesn’t work. It happens like this: I find myself underlining and rereading and remembering to tell about An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter.<\/em> The beginning is tied to the ending, steeped in extremes the pampas come alive with warriors and lightning and only the company of a horse. I lay here and look up at those exact stars of the southern hemisphere; my foot caught in the stirrup. I wonder about the geographical line of my life and walking back the path that brought me here. <\/p>\n An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter<\/em> is bigger than the pampas and Graceland<\/em> is not bigger than Lagos. Graceland<\/em> \u200bis only about a place in a time; a documentary in a literature contest. <\/p>\n They both play on the storytelling level which is almost always enough but An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter<\/em> earns the win with language; a timeless grasp on us quietly living in pampas all over.<\/p>\n ——<\/p>\n Lance Edmonds is a Bookseller at Posman Books in Chelsea Market.
