Alexander Mccall Smith's Short List

摘要

Though Alexander McCall Smith has written more than 60 books, readers know him best for his No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, about a Botswanan sleuth named Precious. The series has been translated into 44 languages and is now a TV show on HBO. McCall Smith spent his childhood in Zimbabwe. When he isn't writing or playing bassoon in his group, the Really Terrible Orchestra, he's dabbling in art and music, from 17th century Dutch to 21st century Brooklyn.rnI recently saw the Pierre Bonnard "Late Interiors" show at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. It was a timely visit; I had become increasingly attracted to the paintings of Edouard Vuillard and Bonnard, those great painters of intimate domesticity.
