Of course I do. The best book written by an Australian ever IMO. "Dead Europe. Tsiolkas, Christos." It's about historical memory, violence from the past influencing the present as well as a meditation on the Abrahamic religions, politics, all sorts of things. Australians don't normally write interesting books. I dunno what the problem is, but this is an old fahioned novel in the Russian, C19 British, or Indian tradition. Except that the concerns are contemporary. Very political and humane. Published this year. It sure isn't self-help.
I wonder if the double quotes thing will work this time.
