    Glad you like Rurik - will repost prologue and Chap 1 on my profile soon if you wanted to read the early bit. (Though they aren't as polished as this chapter; more work required!)

    John,
    Never did find your piece in Critiques (did you get my message?)

    Re New York: Look forward to reading 'City of Lies' on holiday. The Nicole Krauss books are special but could not share the enthusiasm for the New York of 'Netherland' by Joseph O'Neill - turgid and unsatisfying.

    John,

    Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have a look. However, can't find an Articles section under Critiques General. Looking in the wrong place?
