In his past life as a photographer, Blork has done a lot of great shots. Most of them are nicely framed landscapes (urban and wilderness), but one of my favorite picture of his is still this simple double portrait. Irresistible.

En attendant d’y �tre, je me r�gale des belles photos du Cap Breton prises par Antoine Girard.
Celle-ci vaut particuli�rement le d�tour.
J’esp�re qu’il fera beau!

The Telegraph published an article about the current pro-sex feminism trend in literature. It reminds me of a local writer whose marketing campaign is very much centered around the question: Is it autofiction, or not?
What’s with the prostitute-turned-writer trend, and why is it so successful? (My blog gets lots of hits every week for people looking for « photos of N.A. » because I mentioned her once.) The article from The Telegraph quotes someone who comes up with an interesting explanation :
« Women will see her book as quite a fun thing to have, » predicts Pelling, who publishes a monthly extract in The Erotic Review. « It’s going to spark a lot of debates. Is she, isn’t she, would you do that? There are very few women who haven’t at some time or other imagined a scenario in which you find that is the only way you could make a living and entertained the idea, ‘What would that be like, if that was the only way I could make money?’ I think, it’s rather a common thought process, probably like men thinking, ‘What would it be like if I had to go away to war?’ »
