I don’t know how I do these things; perhaps coincidence has something to do with it.
While considering twittering about some old stories on this blog, I decided to Google “Angela’s Ashes”.
The reason is that it was the title that inspired The Oxymoronic Hydroponic Tubers. The story was written in homage to Douglas Adams, part of a writing challenge on the erstwhile WritingUp.com. That’s not exactly six degrees of separation, but it is a stretch from me to Frank McCourt.
Anyway, about 49 minutes prior to my search, Palki S. Upadhyay published an article on IBN Live: A tribute to Angela’s Ashes author, Frank McCourt!
Spooky, eh?
