Yesterday was Charles Dickens birthday. I haven't read everything by Charlie, just the one's everybody else has read, the ones they assigned us in school, and, of course, A Christmas Carol. Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, Bleak House, Nicolas Nikleby, David Copperfield, which was, to my disappointment, not a biography of the magician, Hard Times, The Pickwick Papers, and, of course, A Tale of Two Cities. He was an asshole in his private life, but he wrote great novels about Victorian England, the poverty, the class system, and the day to day lives of beaten down and oppressed people. He should be honored as a writer.




Happy belated birthday Charlie D.

We have a Dickens Festival in the nearby town of Cambridge, Ohio, where every Christmas season, the streets are lined with characters and scenes depicting life in Victorian England, about which the author wrote. Unfortunately, America is heading back to a Dickensian nightmare, where it is the best of times for the well-off, and the worst of times for everyone else!

I'd love to go to the festival, and I'm afraid you're right. We do seem headed in that direction.

My first encounter with Dickens was as a child. I read The Old Curiousity Shop. As a kid I just couldn't comprehend the end - my social conscience hadn't yet been aroused. By he way there is a new U.K. tv series where all the inhabitants of a street are well known Dickensian characters. It has mixed reviews I believe - though I haven't seen it myself my gut reaction is that it does sound a weird idea.
