NOW THAT I AM TWEETING …
The publicity for DBW is starting to happen and I am reminded of that wonderful line in FARINELLI AND THE KING, when the singer is asked about his fame: “I am not famous, Farinelli is”. I very much doubt that the publicity will be about David Stoll, but, whenever he is mentioned, it will feel strange and – however accurate – untrue. But then, in a way, all creative artists know that their own work, once born, has its own life outside them: somehow you know the piece very well but have no ownership of it at all. The publicity about me (such as it is) will have a similar relationship.
