How To Tell Ringworm Is Healing

is a book. A diary (III)

July 29

Two months ago I visited a couple. He, in his forties, her early twenties. They live in Catalonia. His appearance is modest, but in his talk was very polite. Without moving, they were sending me emails from computers Pamplona public library in which they sought be me. They wanted to know what to write about Navarra. Not here, not ever written on this earth, they said they were working on legal advice. Not really any book ever written. But they were willing to discuss the issue navarro I would show them. Anyone. History, geography, anthropology, nature, institutions ... They seemed ready for anything. I was a little puzzled. Do not know where to begin to explain that things do not work that way, which is more logical that they are clear, first, study what interests them and then, and what was written, without prior request, commitment and economic advancement, we would see if I was interested or not to publish.

The parting was very successful. But it had to be satisfied. A colleague in another department told me today that he just visited with exactly the same approach. They have not started yet, have nothing to teach. But, as you told me, I could not convince at all.
