Fw: Recommendations

[charles f albert]

Check out the roster of writers who took up the cause of resurrecting Bruno 
Schulz after the publication of Messiah....


hardly the response one would expect for a work so readily dismissed...



and good luck with Putermesser......I tried an excerpt - you can tell you 
are dealing with something of remarkable merit,
but, lawhd, is it tough sledding.....


now, honestly.......where did you find The Throwback, and did you have to 
pay more than 25 bucks for the paperback?
I really am anxious to know........the first time I went trolling for it on 
alibris, I found one - for $70...........



love,
cfa
