Patrick deWitt, The Sisters Brothers

That was my cup of tea, a western, a clear narrative, strong characters with believable interplay. It's been made into a film starring John C Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix that I am now very keen to see, and have added deWitt's other books to my wishlist.  This week i have bee trying to arrange a lift rota for Freddie's swimming club, as there are now potentially 7 sessions a week. I think I'm there now with the various parents, who is doing which session and so on. Feeling a bit like Milo Minderbinder keeping the plates spinning and the planes flying
