about this author

Charles Lambert was born in the United Kingdom but has lived in Italy for most of his adult life. Any Human Face (Picador), his second novel, is the first of a trilogy based on life in modern-day Rome, ranging from the world of politics and corruption to that of juvenile prostitution.

Max Ernst
"When the artist finds himself he is lost. The fact that he has succeeded in never finding himself is regarded by Max Ernst as his only lasting achievement. "
Max Ernst


"With regard to prudence and stability, I say a people is more prudent, more stable and more just than a prince."
— Niccolò Machiavelli (Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius)


Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages."
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche


"The things that the novel does not say are necessarily more numerous than those it does say and only a special halo around what is written can give the illusion that you are reading also what is not written."
— Italo Calvino (1923 - 1985)


Colette
"Put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it."
Colette

1335032 Thanks Charles for adding me as a friend. I'd love for you to visit my web site, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with Patty Wiseman, another friend on Goodreads. We’ve known each other for over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our book you can click on…clairkelley@synthasite.com. This site is brand new and in the editing stage as is our story. Please visit it as well. We’re both very green, but we’ve met so many people on this site willing to reach out and offer advice or a guiding hand.
Blessings,
Jeannie

125992 Thank you for taking the time to read "Don't Share A Cab in Peru". That you enjoyed it means a lot. Hopefully someone picks up the next piece, and the next.
(I've got a long way to go before I'll have enough for a collection.)

Cheers,
Jason
