My Work Appears in Romania (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yesterday, to my surprise, Google sent me this notice. I otherwise would not have known any of this. I guess it’s a very good thing, to be so privileged so as to have written a book that has traveled around the world and through time to reach so many readers.
