Dickens
We're going to see A Christmas Carol this weekend. The play this time ... a mercifully Jim-Carey-free zone.
I've just come across this article in the NY Times where you can peruse the actual Dickens manuscript.
There's something weirdly fascinating about seeing the handwriting and the amendations - like seeing a mind at work. And speaking of Dickens, this looks promising, and the first part includes that Micawberism well worth keeping in mind this time of year: "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."
