'Published by Pushkin Press, who seem to be very good at picking the best of foreign-language fiction and publishing an english translation. I heard about this on 'A Good Read' and it sounded very funny - the story of an unpublished novel of great quality found languishing in a dusty, forgotten library of unpublished books, and purportedly written by the local pizza maker. It's in part a satire on the publishing industry, but the search for the truth ends with an unexpectedly touching finale. Really enjoyed it, it's going on Helen's new bookshelf. We've just booked a week in the Peak district at Easter (more places to scratch off on Fred's map), and I'm planning a cycling epic for my 50th. Let's see, I'm not very good at setting practical limits on how much I can achieve in a day.
