And Charles has also convinced me to read Evica; I purchased both of his books as well.
For me also, the pile keeps growing. Wish I could read as fast as JFK is reputed to have been able to.
Good to know, Albert.
I hope that you got And We are All Mortal at a reasonable price and that you ordered the Trine Day edition of A Certain Arrogance. The original self-published iteration of the latter, via Xlibris, was butchered by the publisher and is, at points, unreadable.
Thanks for the heads-up, Charles. I'm not sure what reasonable in this case would be, but having been an academic I am used to spending on hard-to-get books, so no problem there. Yes, I believe I ordered the better edition of A Certain Arrogance. From the way you describe Evica, his interests seem to have cut across a whole spectrum of literary and anthropological issues; he seems from your description to have been quite brilliant. I take it his work engages/dialogues with the likes of Victor Turner and Clifford Geertz? Looking forward to reading him, too.
