Liberation? (was Re: Cutting ... )

[Otto Sell]

The novel is from 1942, guess it's the year he had finished it. Genet had
been in prison thirteen times between 1937 and 1943, and he tells of the
German bomb on the second page of my edition . . . I have written nowhere
that our glorious hun-airforce was bombing Paris in 1942 . . .
Considering your other mail to the list I assume you had a bad day?
What about my question? You snipped the wrong words to answer too, the
others are important.

Hey, I've got nothing against Australians and Australia (nice place, shame
about the flies) and if they all want to become Americans the continent will
be free - all Germans want to become Australians.
