THE GREEN PAVILION
I started translating Genet’s poems, in a spirit of wilful inaccuracy, in Cambridge in 1974, and stopped four years later, in the winter of 1978, in a high-rise flat in Portugal. In 1980, I was teaching in northern Italy and one of my tasks was to improve the English of managers at Edizioni Panini, Italy’s largest producer of figurine, the stickers of footballers and cartoon characters

We certainly do, Mike. And I can see a few books on your list that I haven't read yet but will be before too long...Mike wrote: "Charles,

Thank you, sir! Your book is in my to-read stack...i have to finish up some non-fiction and then i'm into the Goodreads authors...i believe you are 3rd or 4th in queue. :-) But i'm quite looking forward to it.
Thanks for the accept. I've always wanted to go to Italy. Maybe someday!
hey! Have you read Margaret Atwood's newest?????
Thanks Charles for adding me as a friend. I'd love for you to visit my web site, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with Patty Wiseman, another friend on Goodreads. We’ve known each other for over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our book you can click on…clairkelley@synthasite.com. This site is brand new and in the editing stage as is our story. Please visit it as well. We’re both very green, but we’ve met so many people on this site willing to reach out and offer advice or a guiding hand.Blessings,
Jeannie
Thanks for friend request. Intend doing a full review of Sea Stories when have read it all. So glad you like George Mackay Brown! Winter Tales just about right to revisit - along with Something Rich and Strange!
Thank you for taking the time to read "Don't Share A Cab in Peru". That you enjoyed it means a lot. Hopefully someone picks up the next piece, and the next. (I've got a long way to go before I'll have enough for a collection.)
Cheers,
Jason
Thanks for the add, Charles!! I'm looking forward to reading your books, especially The Sea Stories, as I love the sea.
Congratulations on your book's debut Charles!I'll be sure to check it out--
Jessica.
