Book Promo
Finally, my book promo! Music is by Chris Thomson, an old friend, once of The Bathers and voice over by Robert Mantho who lives round the corner but who was born in Detroit. I shot it mostly in an old bar in Chicago called the Berghoff and on The Loop. I think it passes pretty well for New York in 1916 as long as you don't look too closely at the cars.

“Without moving he had glanced down at her head, at the steady rise and fall of her breath. She had a tiny mole on the lobe of her left ear. Did she know it was there? It was a lover's privilege to know another's body almost better than she herself did.”

Hi Beatrice, Thanks a lot for accepting my friend request. Just wanted to say I read your novel, 'The Luminous Life of Lily Aphrodite', and it was brilliant. I would go as far as to say it was one of the best contemporary novels I've ever read; recommended it to lots of friends. Looking forward to getting round to reading 'The Songwriter' and I hope you are still enjoying lecturing.
All the best,
John.
Oh it's not a problem at all. I don't know about great, my own reviews always embaress me. Great journies to you as well!
