Big Ears Wrote:The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander Macall Smith is both chilling and funny at the same time. It is very clever how Smith writes in the first person, from the point of view of a Botswanan woman.Surprising in one way (Mr. Macall Smith is a white European) but not in another (he's a doctor, trained to observe, AND was reared in Rhodesia). Made into a marvellous TV mini-series: ââ¬â¹http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1356380/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 << There's even a strong music connection here--the star, Jill Scott, is having a terrific career as a singer and songwriter--Grammies even G. noms, are not popcorn or confetti.
A man accustomed to hear only the echo of his own sentiments, soon bars all the common avenues of delight, and has no part in the general gratification of mankind--Dr. Johnson
