As you know, I finished Book 3 a while ago. It's not out until autumn next year, but the ceaseless, cruelly abrasive nature of novel writing is such that I'm already having to start work on Book 4. Now, naturally, being Mailing Listers, you all effortlessly attain a base level of intelligence and handsomeness that pops you straight into the 98th percentile of humans presently living on the Earth. What utterly delights seven to nine of my toes, however, is the fact that experience has shown me that on the Mailing List there is sure to be at least one specialist in anything I could possibly name. If I ever need to speak to, say, a paleoclimatologist, or a ship mechanic, then there will certainly be one among your number. Whatever I might, for some reason, need to explore - the details of farming practices in New Zealand, what one sees looking down a particular street in Hawaii, how it feels to be the only sixteen-year-old girl in Louisiana to have read a book, etc. - I know that, were I to ask, then the unfaltering pool of eliteness that is the Mailing List would be able to answer my questions. Well, for Book 4, it turns out I'd like to ask a few rather specific things about neurology (as Book 4 partly involves that much-overlooked area, 'the comedy of serious head injury'). So, are there any clinical neurologists out there who'd be so kissable as to drop me a line if they're prepared to submit to a little interrogation? If you're game, please give me a shout at: dr.waldman.is.oddly.unavailable@ntlworld.com Multiple thanks.
