Mimi Thorisson’s husband, Oddur, writes in her blog Manger about reading Breakfast with Lucian—Lucian Freud is his favorite painter. “It demonstrates that he’s not introspective (which is comical given his family and famous name) but instructive.” I now have this book because of Oddur Thorisson. Freud’s house was in Kensington Church Street round the corner from Campden Hill Gardens where I had my Kensington flat.
