Thank you for giving this the perfect home!

"But I don’t feel alone. I feel surrounded. There’s something life-affirming in sitting quietly amongst the dead. I get a calming sense of comfort. The Sicilians of the past look back at me from their portraits of eternity."

This story made my day :-)

Fantastisch personage! De Duits-Oostenrijkse Daniel Kehlmann heeft enkele jaren terug met "Tyll" een geweldige roman geschreven gebaseerd op de avonturen van Tijl Uilenspiegel. Grappig, innemend en ontroerend. Sterk aanbevolen.

Very much love your style! It also reminds me of the work by the French "bandes dessinees" artist Marc-Antoine Mathieu, especially his series about Julius Corentin Acquefacques. Thank you for sharing!

And here's one, non-native English author :-)
