The name is like a combination of Moby+Dick = Modick. lol. That’s just by the way. You doing well with your international reading

Oh great, thanks for sharing it. I can now start to reveal that I’m planning a German Literature month in November. Lizzy said she would help co-host. Hope she is still in it. I bought a lot of German novels recently but they are all not translated yet. I’ll have to have a closer look later, from what I saw I know a few of them. Genazino is somone you would love, I’m quite sure. One of his books has been translated so far, I think.
oh great look forward to your reviews ,I think be a couple of years before any of these appear in english ,but couple sound great to me ,all the best stu
