Please take this less as cloying flattery and more as an ongoing pitch to keep you an active member on this board. I’ll admit, my initial appreciation of your presence came from admiring you as a musician but over the years I genuinely began to value your trenchant insights and economical prose within the historical and political spheres. So I have no doubt of your claims and am really looking forward to this novel.
Just in saying that, I hear myself sounding like Martin Prince.
