I published some personal accounts at the time but have other projects on at the moment. Karski's book is about to be republished here in the UK by Penguin and that should make quite a splash.

The person who wrote to you about The Orphan Master's Son. I was reading About A Common Reader and was intrigued to learn of your interest in Jan Karski. A cousin of mine was similarly interested in Jan Karski and wanted to produce a documentary about him. Through a mutual friend in Washington I hooked him up with Kaya Ploss, who was/is head of the Jan Karski Institute. Would you like me to put you in touch with any of these individuals? Perhaps you know Kaya and the Institute already and are far ahead of me. It's a small world. Ellen Berman Hi Tom,

I love your site because we seem to share an opinion on quite a few books that I do know, so I immediately trust your reviews to point me to ones I haven't read. I shall check in often!

I was so impressed that I immediately subscribed to your blog. Your book reviews are thorough and very interesting. Your selection of books overlaps with my reading interests. Wishing you great health so that you can read for a very long time, and so that you can review very many books ...

I have been monitoring your site for some time now, both for the shear joy of the reviews and in hopes of learning a thing or two. Your modesty is becoming, but your selections are bold and interesting. Thanks for that. I have taken the liberty of including a link to your blog through my site. If this is in any way, or for any reason, unacceptable to you, please don't hesitate to say so. Respectfully, Kevin (@ reviews and responses) Hello Tom,

But I found YOU! I am thrilled after reading about you, the books you reviewed and all. Thank you for giving all of us everywhere, a friend in books.

Like the reader above I stumbled across it by accident whilst looking for some English reviews on Pawel Huelle. I'm an ex-pat based in Poland and my partner is currently doing a PhD in modern Polish Fiction translation. If you'd like some Polish fiction recommends I could put together a list for you. Keep up the great work. What a lovely site you’ve got here Tom. Like the reader above I stumbled across it by accident whilst looking for some English reviews on Pawel Huelle.
