On a morning from a Bogart movie, in a country where they turn back time, you go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre, contemplating a crime
-Al Stewart
Are you telling me you’d be happier with Victor Lazlo then with Humphry Bogart?
- When Harry Met Sally.
Only the Roman roads lead into the open. Only the most ancient traces lead anywhere. Where is the top of the pass here? And it’s only there that my country, the land of storytelling, begins.

Welcome to the Latchis. Casablanca is in theater one
- Said to me by an usher on June 26, 2020.
With the coming of the second world war, many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully or desperately toward the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the great embarkation point. Not everybody could get to Lisbon directly. So a tortuous, roundabout refugee trail sprung up. Paris to Marseilles. Cross the Mediteranean to Oran.

Staying at home and trying to work over Zoom was hard. Having the family also go through the hardships of isolation was another level of stress.
When Vermont started to open up, I made a reservation to be there. I love the artistic temperament of the town. I love the Latchis Hotel, where I stay. It is in downtown and convenient to everything. The Latchis was built in the 30s and has a wonderful Art Deco feel. There is a grand old movie house attached. It has been a very good place for me to focus on writing, and also a place to recharge my batteries with art and
