Many thanks to the guy who sent in a copy of Ten Thousand Lovers by Edeet Ravel. Best we can tell, it is a reader from a U.S. army base in Europe. Add this to MG’s long list of goals: to entertain our troops abroad. And if others feel equally generous, may I direct you to the wish list?
The reader who wrote in to complain about MG’s domain name and who claims “I KNOW THAT YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT OF THE TRUE MOORISH BLOOD,” among other niceties is kindly directed to this entry.
