A Dozen to Be Going On with
— Tony Rogers

Since I began our Magazine of Quiet Enthusiasms in May 1997 I’ve been keeping a list of subjects that might be turned into interesting articles. Many of these pieces have indeed been published, but as time proceeds this list is getting longer and longer, not shorter.

So much so that, what with bringing out the magazine every two months and updating the Web site once or twice a month, I am fast losing the battle to find time to research and write. I have therefore decided to use this column now and then to mention some of these topics in the hope that others might be inspired to take up the pen.

Here are twelve for your consideration:

Alan Ayckbourn
Anti-Intellectualism
Samuel Beckett
Allan Bennett
Edward Hopper
Spike Milligan
Charles Mingus
Barrington Pheloung
Postmodernism
The Stuart Piano
Mark Twain
Walt Whitman.

One or two names in the list above may be a bit on the obscure side, but nonetheless all twelve topics seem to me to be well worth enthusing about. Any takers?
