Michel always on top. What a beautiful picture of this European decadence with these brainy sold, feminized, cowardly and docile. These subject politicos and spineless people. This is a novel, yes, as in 1984 !!! Michael, your novel has virtues and weaknesses, you take a party and it's your right to novelist. You're one of the few contemporary writers to spread itching powder among the doggies. You tics, mannerisms old boy, your style is planted and I like. News has served you a promotion on a tray, you're also a bestseller. A question, Charlie - Charlots do they do some of your readers or critics? Bravo for this book that the whole world criticism but makes talking, waking is another story ....
