'''Longlisted for the [[Orange Prize for Fiction 2012]]'''
Anders Eckman is dead. The news has been delivered in the form an aerogram – remember those blue paper-cum-envelope things we used to use to write to foreign pen-pals when the notion of befriending a person you'd never met in a foreign country still seemed exotic?
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag.
Further reading suggestion If this gives you a wondering about what it’s really like in the depths of Amazonia you could do worse that to pick up [[Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes by Daniel Everett]]. You might also enjoy Patchett's [[The Dutch House by Ann Patchett|The Dutch House]].
