I’m not able to teach as much as I once did and I long for the weekly Novel-in-Progress workshops I led; I gained at least as much as I gave by thinking c...

Like the inner workings of a finely-tuned piano, the harmony of William Boyd’s Love is Blind is the work of true craftsmanship that is sensed more than outwardly observed. On the surface, it’s a rousing good yarn – a book that is, among other thing..." Read more of this review » |

Hi Julie, Many thanks for accepting my friend request. I'm sorry I didn't include a mail with my request but I did it on my phone and am too obtuse to navigate how to write a letter on there. Loved your review of THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH and your concept of "Monster Classic." I used to compel myself to read at least one "Monster Classic" per year but was defeated by TALE OF GENJI. Am about to embark on 3rd Reich.
