The complete two page excerpt text will be provided electronically to the buyer of this article "Novel in Progress”, titled in the magazine, "Tropical Botany Cafe Con Carbon”.

The issue also includes articles about Kenzaburo Oe, Mario Vargas Llosa and Elizabeth Longford. Front and back covers are heavily scuffed. Good condition other than noted.
