The Spectacled Bear

Balada Literária in São Paulo

People in London sometimes ask if I ever think about returning to The Smoke.

Even though I have not lived in London since 2002, my friends stick to the adage that however much I insist in placing myself in remote windy seaside settings, the city refuses to be taken out of this girl.

The truth is that although I will always have a special place in my heart for the big cities in my life, right now I cannot imagine anything at all that would attract me to living in a huge, crowded, violent smogodrome.

Except, perhaps, for the fact that you big city bastards get to go to free events like this one.
