Whence Bohemia, bohemians and bohemianism?


As an author and musician, I have often yearned for the close intellectual company of fellow authors and musicians on a day-to-day basis.

My working day is mostly spent writing, which is a solitary activity, interspersed with walks on the local moorlands close to where I live.

Recently, I have been investigating options for relocating my office and it occurred to me that there may be communities of artists, authors and musicians out there.

This blog is dedicated to the discovery and documentation of my researches into whether fellow artists, authors and musicians group together to live the bohemian life and where are their communities.

If you are an artist, author, musician or other creative person and are able to share information on Bohemia, bohemians or bohemianism, it would be most welcome.

Bye for now

Bohemia for the likes of you and me is like Romanistan for a Romani - it's wherever we happen to be at the time!

Seriously - it's not what it is, the way you look at it!

P.S. Enjoyed the stuff about folk music, posted elsewhere, but you're just too prolific; it'd take me half my life just to keep up!

Ivamamo, thanks for your kind comments.

Unfortunately, where I am, few are interested in discussion beyond the state of English football or where to eat for Sunday lunch.

My post about Taleb and his Black Swan ideas expands on this here
