| Introduction | Until recently I was the Director of the Roy Hart Centre at the Château de Malérargues, located in the Cévennes mountains of southern France. I am an Epicurean and am interested in the histories and origins of ideas and texts. This leads me to odd places, obscure facts, and the view that realities are stranger than fictions. |
