ABOUT THE BELOW MENTIONED

After my latest post my wife told me “Hey, you forgot to mention what happened to me in Lima last November.”

Oh, my memory! Yeah, I didn’t recall what happened, so I asked her again to tell me the story.

Here goes:

She was in Perú, and while visiting with a friend the Catholic University’s Cultural Center (a big building with theater, cinema, bookstore, exhibitions halls, etc… the usual Cultural stuff) an old friend of hers, who she didn’t see since high school, approached.

While doing the usual “What has been with you” chat, she mentioned that she was married with a writer, living in New York.

The friend asked for the name of something published by the husband (that’s me) and my wife mentioned “La Tierra del Fuego”.

After bye byes, hope to see you again, etc, my wife was going out with her friend when the old friend came running… with a copy of “La Tierra del Fuego!” and asked my wife to sign the book for her.

Out of curiosity, my wife asked the friend “Where did you buy it?”

“Here, in the bookstore. I asked and they have copies, so I bought one.”

So, again, my little fella, my ink & paper dude, is still finding ways to survive.

You REALLY never know…


FADE TO
