Farewell Fermor

June 19, 2011

I see from the papers that Patrick Leigh Fermor (DSO, OBE, COP, Chevalier Ordre des Arts et Lettres, etc.) has died, alas before I got a chance to track him down and share a bottle of ouzo with him.  (He couldn’t wait, I suppose.  He was 96.) I have written elsewhere about his marvelous memoir […]

The Big Finish

June 6, 2011
