"But what if Trump has just gone bonkers? Literally bonkers? What if no other explanation is needed? What if we behold an old man who, as he approaches 80, is simply losing his mind?" Recommended reading.

‘I wonder what he meant by that,’ King Louis Philippe of France supposedly remarked on the death of the conspiratorial politician Talleyrand. Whenever a person behaves in ways we had not anticipated,...

Love this
@bill_buford @jaksplat knowing Lyon and region and many quoted restaurants very well (family once lived in Ecully) I hugely enjoyed Dirt - Heat not quite so enthralling

Sorry seeing this only now. Am I too late? Although I need to add that, in the 5 years we lived in Lyon, I got to Paris…hmm…maybe 3 times (the relationship between the 2 gastronomic cities is…well…frosty)
@bill_buford Bill finished Dirt & really want to try a haute cuisine (correct term?) restaurant in Paris next month but have my 3 sons with us so will prolly just do a lunch. Any suggestions from my favorite chef/author? (I can DM if better) (regret not getting to Dario while in Florence…)

Who could disagree?!!
𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐂𝐊 | AMONG THE THUGS by @bill_buford A terrifying, malevolently funny, supremely chilling book about the experience, and the eerie allure, of crowd violence and football culture as the author follows #mufc's Red Army. 🛒 https://t.co/vBGINxGC9p

Fantastic !
So exciting to see my father's new work in progress, in his carving studio last night. It's one of the largest scale pieces he's ever attempted (birds and sea creatures are all life size!) No photos yet, but it reminds me a lot of his 'Ocean Table' Stay Tuned! 📷Duncan Elliott

Oh you should go see him! And bring back some of his flour! I’ll research my photos. I think I have one of the very button I needed to press to gain entrance
@bill_buford I picture myself pushing the button outside Minoterie Degrange, and talking my way inside (not at lunch though, only true writers have that moxy:) Under his breath Monsieur Degrange muttered, “Merde, Buford sent me another damned American foodie!” This is what life is about:)

Well, damn! Thank you, Mr Bridges. This is very cheering to hear.
I’m trying to teach my teens what exceptional writing looks like—and you really can’t do better than the flow & current running through this @bill_buford piece. Every time I tear into a fresh baguette, it comes to mind. Great writing stays with you

Try a DM? I followed you back
@bill_buford @GothamGator1 @bill_buford, I'd love to chat to you about a BBC Radio 4 documentary idea. How can I get in touch with you directly?

For those asking… Tesla market cap has increased by $110 billion today since Trump’s re election this morning… which would mean that Elon Musk’s 13% stake is worth $14 billion more today than yesterday….

Thank you for the reread and for reading Dirt and Heat. As for the issue of my survival…I have to admit I am often puzzled thinking back on certain moments. I mean, really…WTF was I thinking ?
@bill_buford Just reread it & only after did I learn about Heat & Dirt; and ordered/read those as well. Great books, but ATT was scary at times & was amazed that you came out of there with your life.
