Let me introduce myself by expanding on the title of this introductory thread.
In the UK, letters, which never get delivered to their recipient are kept in a section of the Royal Mail known as the dead letter office. Though they were written for a purpose that purpose remains unfulfilled by being unread.
A lot of my reading and thinking about what I have read concerns itself with dead people ie writers who are no longer living. I often find myself having a dialogue with an author when I read or even if I happen to write something about the work I am reading. In a way these are conversations with or letters to the dead.
I see my participation on this forum in a similar way and I hope you will take this as by way of an introduction.
