My first literary comment

I am reading Maria Barbal's novel "Emma" these days, written in Catalan. It deals with a woman who has 'sunk' from a normal, middle-class life into homelessness. But she has kept a functioning mind for most of the time. On a notepad that she found abandoned together with a pen she writes her story from a first person perspective. It is really fascinating; and her entries into the paper notebook could also be blog entries - if only she had a notebook and wireless 3G access wherever she went...
