Lit Wits Live: Cacs and Momelia
As promised, we met with the winners of LitWit Challenge 3.11: Stabbed In The Heart to present them with their prizes. The prize was a hardcover Collected Stories of Lydia Davis. As two winners were declared, we needed another copy of the Collected Lydia Davis. Unfortunately the bookstore had run out of copies (I had forced friends to buy them when they first came out), so we had to find an acceptable substitute.
Sum: forty tales from the afterlives by David Eagleman is a collection of vignettes by neuroscientist David Eagleman. The reviews have been rapturous, and the book has been compared to the work of Italo Calvino and Alan Lightman. So we got a copy of Sum, and since Cacs arrived on time he got to choose between the two books. He picked Sum.

Momelia has some intriguing tattoos.
“What fantastic tattoos,” we said. “When did you get them?”
“I used to hang out in a pool hall,” said Momelia.
“What does that one mean?”
“Fire and Passion.”
“How do you know it’s Fire and Passion and not Pyre and Fashion?”
You don’t.

Actually the first character can either be emotion or passion.
The second character is fire.

Thanks, Jessica. For the book, the coffee, and the conversation. The killer app must happen. We could start with Momelia’s Richard Hadede having his own speech converter app. Haha.
