The Lost Art of Writing Letters and Communicating with One Another?

ideacity On The Air Podcast:
Simon Garfield 

I wrote in my last post about listening to podcasts featuring Simon Garfield  -

Spooky Dog Tales for Cat Lovers?

and I found the above talk Simon gave in Canada about letter writing, which made me ironically think, with today being Halloween, about the poor Chinese guy who wrote a letter and placed it in a Halloween headstone box heading for Kmart -

The Brave New World of 1984?.

Letter from Chinese Laborer
 Pleading for Help

I'm also in the middle of reading Trent Dalton's novel 'All Our Shimmering Skies' about a gravedigger girl named Molly Hook, who when not digging graves helps mourners in what to write on their departed loved one's headstone.

And now I see Trent has a new book out, not about love letters, but 'Love Stories' which he bangs out the old-fashioned way on a typewriter.

Maybe I should tell Trent about my love for "synchromysticism" someday, but I'd be only wasting time maybe ... like writing love letters?-)

Mark (Not Charlie) Manson and Not Giving a F#ck?

I guess we all love a good story, whether, happy, sad or tragic ... and someone to read or listen to them?
