Advance praise for one of Randolph Pitts’ novels: “A sexy thriller that shows New York City in the grip of terrorists, natural disasters and voodoo magic, while at the same time being a moving meditation on love, sensuality, and twenty-first century man’s fate in the universe. Possibly the greatest novel of our time.” Music: Excerpt from “Sonate pour Anita” (dedicated to Anita DeFrancesco) I will be delivering these talks in French next year at the Sorbonne in Paris. In the interim they will be available here as podcasts.
