Dear list members;
Some of you will already be aware of the existence of the volume mentioned
below, but I would like to bring it to the attention of more recent
members. Following recent launchings in both Melbourne and Sydney, together
with the appearance of the first - very favourable - reviews, the volume is
selling briskly.
A special number of Spunti e ricerche, entitled "Antonio Tabucchi: A
Collection of Critical Essays" and edited by Bruno Ferraro and Nicole
Prunster, has recently been published. Consisting of fifteen essays in
English and a critical bibliography, this volume is an indispensable tool
for those studying Tabucchi's works or working in the field of comparative
literature. Those wishing to purchase it should send a cheque for A$50
(this includes airmail postage), made out to Spunti e ricerche, to the
following address:
