Thanks. I'm working on getting more sales, quoting your review, but it's slow!
Interesting review, Jason. The book, Sardinian Silver, had in fact its first draft in 1963, shortly after I left Sardinia. It was written in Reggio Calabria, in the toe of Italy, where I was teaching the following year. It went through many changes before being published finally by iUniverse in 2008.
Excellent reviews, keep it up. You are what the literary world needs more of.
Is that really you in the picture? You have a Dean Martin sorta look. Very hip... Tends toward the "naughty" side...?You Chicagoans' have a lot of action going on right now over there in the "Windy City." Exciting stuff...
Why former novelist??
Your review saved me from adding "The Pesthouse" to my wishlist, but I am adding "Layover" even though I'm not a big fan of chick lit.
You're too welcome.
Jason, your next Boyle has gotta be "A Friend of the Earth," and if you've never read his short stories they are second to none. Begin with the first story, "Sorry Fugu," in "If the River Was Whiskey." Trust me on this; I've seen your shelves.
Hi Jason. Congrats on the 50th review and thanks for the Shelfari shout out.
Welcome to Shelfari! I can think of nothing more delightful than writing about traveling, except perhaps writing while traveling. What are your favorite destinations?
