I suppose you want congratulations. You should know my
universe was very nearly organized when I discovered
RARA-AVIS. Now my bedside table moans with the weight of
unread books. Larger piles lean against my favourite chair. I
should be strolling Florida sands and watching Golden Girls
re-runs. Instead, I'm in hotel conference rooms with people
who feign friendly interest and slyly recommend yet more
titles. They're all about the random violence of life. When
the reaper comes, I'll insist she wait until I've finished
the chapter.
