Dear List,

Three cheers for imagination. But with all due respect to Eugene Stelzig, neither Jean Jacques Rousseau nor 'Old NcNab' submitted a typescript which was rejected 17 times as an embarrassingly bad novel before being taken on by Nan Talese and hawked as a memoir.

Happy New Year from Joburg,

Tom (Rymour)
