This is such a cool series Nick — I'm glad you're giving it to us slowly — it seems to suit the nature of Red Pine's own life and forays into translation. I hope at the end you'll give us a recommended Red Pine reading list because I'm over here wondering how to arrange the titles to check out. The connection with Blofeld, another writer I've been meaning to read, is also fascinating. Thanks for this gift my dude.

Perfectly said! I'll post a pic next time of all the ones I own.
An extraordinary story and important time capsule
