Poor Crisp: Some Shards and Fragments
About this book
"Potters know about broken pots. We know about shards. Hammers are part of our lives. I’ve written a little book called Poor Crisp, a chain of stories about my life with shards, an unfortunate eighteenth century potter called Nicholas Crisp and the fragments that Robert Walser used to make his stories. And the Bible. So pots and words as usual. It’s a lovely little publication by The Cuckoo Press, based at John Sandoe Books in London. Since 1995 they have published something every winter and given it away with book orders. Previous books have been by Edna O’Brien, Juliet Nicolson ,Muriel Spark, Cressida Connolly, Salley Vickers and Javier Marias amongst many fabulous writers. It’s a very special bookshop and I’m thrilled to be part of this parish. Thank you." - Edmund de Waal
