Now, Irene's talks about Geneva and how her story crystallized once she had taken up residence make her observation interesting. I have heard this before. This reminds me of the recently deceased William F. Buckley Jr, whose political commentaries I enjoyed. He was a famous American writer and publisher of the rightwing magazine, The National Review. Buckley used to go to Switzerland to write his books. Within weeks he would be back in New York with a complete manuscript.
Similarly, when Mark Twain visited Switzerland, he wrote a whole raft of short stories, the best of which is The Mysterious Stranger.
There is something about the air or water in Switzerland, do you reckon? I think I will take my next vacation to Switzerland and see what comes out of.
There is something gracious about Ms Sabatini. That alone earns her my deep respect. All in all, I am very happy for Irene and I wish her all the best of luck.
Watch this space for more info; Munyori Journal will be interviewing Irene soon.
