Got an e-mail this morning:

Dear Felix Jung,

Don’t know if you’re still on this address which I got off the web some while back. Anyhow, I’m planning to quote one of your web poems in an article in the NYR and they asked me if I could supply just some indication of who you are. Is there any place on the web that says a word about you.

Best regards
Tim Parks

I chatted with Tim briefly through e-mail. Typical American that I am, I assumed he was in the states. Doh! Turns out, he’s in Italy, and has also translated work by Italo Calvino! Check out Tim’s page.

I’m guessing, based on his bibliography, that when he says NYR he means The New York Review of Books.

YEAH! :D
