Sobre IBD

The Flowering Hedgerow is a diary of the changing seasons and the “details of time”, spanning the months from February to September—the end of winter to the end of summer—in the year 2016. In one sense a nature diary, it is also a diary of the human quotidian, giving human and nature equal weight. As flowers appear in the hedgerow with the coming of spring, so the themes of the diary gradually develop, in patches at first, then coming to full bloom and anticipating the impending fall.Enlivened by thoughts on time, theology and technology, and centred upon a few acres of wooded ground, this diary provides subtle undergrowth into which the reader is invited to delve.  3

  • Graves
    Quentin S. Crisp
    In Graves, Damien, a male nurse and self-styled ‘thanatophile’, is in love with death in its purer and more ideal form.

  • The Paris Notebooks
    Quentin S. Crisp
    In 2007, Quentin S. Crisp visited Paris and kept a diary of his stay there and his return to Britain.

Making a virtue of pareidolia, the author sifts through the subjective impressions of cumulative duration in an attempt to distil beauty and truth from the everyday, a...
