For decades now, @guernica_ed has brought out terrific stuff, smart & cross-cultural, & I'm overjoyed to announce they've bought my memoir THE ARCHEOLOGY OF A GOOD RAGÙ. Thanks esp., @MichaelMirolla1 , so sensitive to my reflections on Naples, my father, & me.

Excavating my office-- it's been far too long-- & rediscovering a few items that deserve saving.
