Dear Lolita Lark,

Subject: Regarding a current review on your site for the Ralph literary journal

Ralph literary review has on

https://www.krabarchive.com/ralphmag/CV/new.html
a review written by Bob Wisdom of the novel The Good Cripple by Rodrigo Rey Rosa.

I write you to suggest a few minor changes for the sake of accuracy, as I am a friend of Rodrigo Rey Rosa, who lives in Guatemala, and I have known him for twenty years.

First of all, Rodrigo's last name is Rey Rosa, not Rosa.

Secondly, Rodrigo Rey Rosa is not a "fan" of Paul Bowles, but significantly, the literary heir of the estate of Paul Bowles and Jane Bowles. (I have also lived for 21 years in Tangier, Morocco, in Jane Bowles' former apartment where I was a friend and neighbor of Paul Bowles. It was there in the early 1980s that I met Rodrigo.)

Finally, the city is Tangier, not Tangiers. That is a common mistake, usually committed by the British, perhaps confusing it with Algiers, the capital city of Algeria. That should be corrected, if you can manage it. You may wish to consult with Bob Wisdom, but I don't think he would mind you making these very minor corrections on your page.

I am also the webmaster for The Authorized Paul Bowles Web Site, the official site for both Paul Bowles and Jane Bowles, established by Rey Rosa and Paul Bowles' musical heir, Irene Herrmann, who lives in Santa Cruz. Though I never had any Web site experience, it has grown into a major undertaking and ranks number one in the world on Google, MSN and Yahoo!, so I can take some satisfaction in that.

Thank you for your kind assistance...
