a Used Book Store in Spain. There were several copies. The one I thumbed haphazardly
was in English. I put it back, and continued to browse the store. I didn't find anything
that grabbed my fancy, so returned to the Ali Baba's and decided that it couldn't be any
worse than Don Quixote. Cervantes has been dead a million years and he's still relevant?
I can't imagine a bookstore in America offering the reading public newly pressed versions of The Gettysburg Address or The Emancipation. Lincoln is one of our most
enduring authors, but honestly Abe, that was a few years ago. You had your turn....
And that's all it took to divert my gaze long enough from the cover
of Ali Baba und Der Dieba Vierzig to buy meine Buch Erstes im Deutsch. Mein Gott!
