(late evening, high st, northcote)
"If you really want to know, I'd rather not have been born at all. I find life very tiring. The thing's done now, of course, and I can't alter it. But there will always be this regret at the back of my mind, I shall never quite be able to get rid of it, and it will spoil everything . . ." from "Introductory Letter" to the short story collection Fever written in 1964.
Fortunately for us, Le Clézio chose to stay on the planet and has continued to write.
