Oh my goodness! So gripping. Not grappling , and I have All of your books…

And to think, you were our Nonfiction Writer in Residence in the Paris Writers’ Workshop and I was the damned Director! You’d think I’d know how to proofread! Oy.

Peter when I read you pieces like this, so strong, so grappling and so funny, my ire raises. I have a terrine of your books on my shelf and I’m ready to add another one to it! Get busy boy. We’re not getting any younger!

I'm beginning to understand how some stories VF declined to publish could be more interesting than many stories VF put to press. I'd be fascinated to read the Monaco story you actually filed, for instance. Your interview with Michael and Anne of Romania is the finest I've come across in English (I daresay I've read all the contenders), yet not good enough somehow for VF? Because virtue is boring, one suspects? Keep going, sir -- we await the next installment avec ardeur. /m/

Thanks Michael. The Romania story wasn't published because Tina deemed the King's "news window" had closed. Beat that.
