"We are all like clay in the potter and no vessel could ask: Why did you make me like this?", 'Robinson Kreutznaer; but -by the usual corruption of words in England- we are now called- nay we call ourselves and write our name - Crusoe; and so do my companions, Daniel Defoe
Robinson Crusoe Suite – 1964
The True Story of Robinson Crusoe.
Esme's Cloud 
I never read the book as a child. I could almost say I never read any book as a child, other than a few I was obligated to by the authorities – a terrible admission, I know. Incidentally, Wikipedia seems to discount the thesis of the documentary film as far as I can tell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_Crusoe H ❤

“a terrible admission, I know.” – no, but unusual in one who has such a huge vocabulary as an adult I’d say. Then again, you are a factual bod H, more than fictional. I say that, yet what are we all but someone else s story?
The wiki discount of the account…shhh….I like the story smiles.

I don’t know, Sonmi, whether I would stake my life on a single fact. It seems to me that all factoids ultimately dissolve into relative meaning alone. Some have been known to all but abandon philosophy in favour of literature and the arts, which doesn’t seem to be such a bad idea. And yes indeed, we all are constructed of narrative, even unto ourselves – apart from teeth of course, teeth are real.

And all that was left…was a handful of unnaturally long, chipped teeth…one of which had a name carved in fine script upon it…and that name was…MOLAR!

Kurt Barlow is with you on that score H.
Having read a huge amount of horror, and specifically vampyre tomes, when I was growing up on the Cloud, I always found the idea of the two sharpest teeth being central a little too comedic for my ‘taste’. ‘Salem’s Lot’ kept with Nosferatu’s toothy look, and it is only as I have grown older that I like the placement more. It seems more ‘useful’ – easier to tuck away again. Or suck away again. One or ‘tother. For anyone who may be interested in such subjects, one of my favourite Vampyre tomes is ‘The Keep’ by Paul F.Wilson. Excellent story, and highly creepy to boot.

Thanks a lot Sonmi. I enjoyed that classic black and white short and downloaded the doco to watch later on the big screen.
Robinson Crusoe is one of my all time favorite reads (I’m sure I’m not alone in that.) I have it on audio book too and find it really takes the edge off that horrid commute. Why, I enjoy being shipwrecked a couple times a year (at least.)
TGIF 😉

Aye, it is a good read to disappear into, on the same ‘shelf’ as ‘The Man in the Iron Mask’ for me. You’re most welcome masodo, enjoy sir smiles.
