I read it years ago, TB. Your mention of it inspired a trip to Borders yesterday. To my surprise, it's not only still in print (the paperback), they had it in stock. Anyway, I'm giving it the old reread myself. I'll let you know.
Please do. Your review will be appreciated!
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
