Being the bookworm nerd that I am, I am following Kuzuo Ishiguro on facebook and I saw this video posted on his that page just the other day. It’s short and to the point but I think it really taps into the reasons why I absolutely love this author and his books (one of which made my Top 10 list of course).
“I like to create world’s in my novels that are slightly off kilter from the real one, the everyday world that we all live in.”
Do you guys agree?
Just one more chapter...
This blog is about our 5 year old little boy Seth and his battle with Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID). At the point of beginning this blog he is being considered for a second bone marrow transplant in order to save his life. My aim is to provide a real account of his history and progress through diary entries, pictures and videos showing that the boy makes the most of his bubble!. I, his mother, will be the main contributor to this page, but its not about me. Comment, ask questions, do whatever you please this is not my page but ours. I hope that this provides others with information on tackling a condition that 30 years ago would have lead to death. As well as giving family and friends a place to keep up to date with the news of his journey. #wearyellowforseth
