Today, according to the Writer's Almanac newsletter, is J. M. Coetzee's birthday (a writer I love) and there was a quotation cited that I wanted to find the source for. This led me to the NY Review of Books and a feature story by him. In that story was the phrase "nostalgie de la boue", of which I was not familiar. A Google search had your entry of August 13, 2002 with that phrase as the title. I started reading your most recent entries and found the reference to the newsletter (I actually listen to the radio broadcast most mornings on the way to work) and decided to post in the spirit of internet serendipity. good blog, by the way.
