It's great that Herzog has revitalized his fiction career in such an interesting way at this late stage.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-4610991917420976852010-10-12T23:52:35.691-04:002010-10-12T23:52:35.691-04:00Aha, that's a darn insightful section on stasi...Aha, that's a darn insightful section on stasis and motion, Ed.
