Writer who was, outsider who is. Still struggling to understand social norms, but not contemplating the soon-come end of his life as he once did.

"This week on the BBC" trailers on BBC Four. "Part of the thousands of hours of Arts and Culture programming the BBC produces every year." (I suspect there are variants for other fields, on the relevant channels.)

Good times? The good times are coming? Please tell me the good times are coming!!!
