Well, I don’t know about that. You are a success story as far as I’m concerned. But I can tell you that the line about tango in today’s installment came straight from last night’s Facebook thread.

Yes, and G-d bless Simic for translating him (and Tadic, and Lalic too).

I’m glad you like this one — it’s undergone more revision than any of the others so far, to the point where I have a hard time maintaining my objectivity and perspective.

It’s cool Vasko Popa is an influence . . . _Homage to the Lame Wolf_ is a favorite.
