read Iris Murdoch's The Bell, influenced three other people to read The Bell, bought Murdoch's Under the Net from a bookseller currently reading The Bellā€”the nation has been struck by Iris Murdoch fever

So grateful to my @IrisMurdoch family for the warm reception of my paper at the conference last week, all the ideas, questions and discussions about The Italian Girl are still buzzing in my head! https://twitter.com/RebelRepublicUK/status/1540750681950130177

Thanks to everyone at the #IrisMurdoch conference at Chichester University who joined our own Tatevik Ayvazyanā€™s talk on the spatial aspects of The Italian Girl adaptation - it was so energising to share our vision with fellow Murdochians.

On Goldman, Canetti, Friedl, and Murdoch. A fascinating read, and who knew Canetti has a new memorial in Hampstead?

ENDS WELL Since those super-duper (copyright: Rivka) splendid conferencing days in Chichester, Iā€™ve had so many lovely messages from so many lovely persons of this electronic parish, to which I havenā€™t been able properly to respond (explanation follows, dear Reader), so I hope youā€™ll all permit me the indulgence of posting a one-size-fits-all number here in order to reassure you. Yes, Yaoyao and I are safely back in Japan. No, we have no idea what day it is or who we are (Tricky Customer: Johnny Jetlag) but I was definitely teaching all day yesterday, and Yaoyao worked too, so all is as it should be, it seems. Howeverā€¦ā€˜Home is so goodā€™, as Larkin almost said. ā€˜Getting homeā€™ was, however, both slapstick and stressfulā€¦The GOOD news: our PCR tests (done in Brighton where we sojourned for two days before heading to Gatwick Airport on Wednesday morning) were NEGATIVE so we had no problem re-entering Japan. Yeah! Er, when we finally got thereā€¦The BAD news: we arrived at London Gatwick Airport to discover - at the check in counter! - that our flight was cancelled/non existent (yes, weā€™d confirmed the previous evening on the app; no, nobody had informed us since then, and the Expedia and airline app still displayed it as ā€˜confirmedā€™ and departing on time even an hour before putative departure!). Gatwick Airport was modern bedlam: chaotic, understaffed, full of bleary-eyed stranded travellers, many of them distressed and openly weeping, people shouting at people shouting at them, airline officials running away from anyone who approached themā€¦ basically the appearance of a homeless shelterā€¦. Chaos.Since it wasnā€™t our fault, Expedia (with whom we booked) offered to rebook us, BUT the first flight they could offer was on 2 July (!): useless, as the PCR test has a 72 window before expiry. So we spent a VERY stressful day at Gatwick and Heathrow, pleading with every single airline at both airports to get us on a flight to Japan ASAP. All flights completely fullā€¦We finally successful rebooked with Swiss Air (at the additional blackmail-aping cost of significantly more than an arm and a leg), which departed at London City Airport (where we sat overnight with about a hundred other waifs and strays), which got us back to Tokyo Narita literally less than an hour before our PCR test expired (or else weā€™d have be sent back to the U.K.)! Phew.Allā€™s well that ends well, didnā€™t someone once say? Well, itā€™s kind of true. If the Murdoch conference and everyone there (thank you thank you thank you) hadnā€™t been so absolutely wonderful and perfectly perfect, we wouldnā€™t still be smiling.But we are. šŸŒ¹ ...

I'm delighted to be able to share Iris Murdoch and Gary Carpenter's collaborative work 'The One Alone' via Soundcloud. We were privileged to have Gary with us at the conference at the weekend to introduce and discuss the work with Maria Peacock. This is time-limited and won't be on SoundCloud for long - so do listen in the next few days, when you get a chance. ... See MoreSee Less
