Comments on: A Clean Well Lighted Place II http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/a-clean-well-lighted-place-ii/ Reflections of a working writer and reader Wed, 16 May 2012 05:06:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Charlotte Hutson-Wrenn http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/a-clean-well-lighted-place-ii/comment-page-1/#comment-110937 Charlotte Hutson-Wrenn Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:04:52 +0000 http://www.johnbakersblog.co.uk/?p=59#comment-110937 I write a blog about Charleston, SC, an evocative place, and place of my ancestors. This concept and Eudora's Welty's writing from her small town in the America South inspires me: the idea of knowing one place well. I like the above comment about the sensuality of a place. I write, feeling my Aunt Elizabeth Blanche Smith Torran's presence at 36 Queen Street in the French Quarter. She lived there in 1758, for the next fifty years, and her daughter was a an artist, like I am. Indeed, a place is a universal character. She will last longer than I. Thanks for this post, John. <strong>jb says</strong>: You're welcome Charlotte. Thanks for the comment. It is a delight to see this one resonating still.

Interesting post. Until I build the house, see the street, hear the voices chattering in the alley, smell the cooking that emanates from the windows, I can’t begin a story.

Salinas and Monterey are around a 2 hour drive for me. When I read his books or visit either place I instantly grasp the impact each had on the other. He captured the essence of the place, although times have changed. John Steinbeck’s works can be (mostly) set no other place than my little corner of California.
