Just a quick note about Tony Martin's Naked Goa
First of all, let me thank my gaumbhau Ben Antao for organising & paying for the Book and Postage from Goa to the US. Benbab, you have not only SEEN to it that I would read the book, you have also ENCOURAGED this fine Goan writer. I trust that I will be able to reciprocate the gesture sometime soon.
Now to Tony Martin's Naked Goa:
1. Excellent 2. Must read for every Goan who claims to love Goa. 3. Thoughtful foreword by Fred Noronha 4. The following chapters are special :
Chapter 11 - Lords of the Government
<You visit a government department - Endless wait. Your turn comes - Endless wait...the person concerned HAS GONE OUT>
Chapter 22 - The Days of the Jackals <Corruption .......>
Chapter 44 - Lok kitem mhuntolo
Well done Tonybab. Hope you have started on Naked Goa -2 .
BTW: I was chatting with Ben Antao the other day. He made an excellent point. "One important method of helping to keep Goan culture alive, is to support Good Goan literary work"
You are absolutely right Benbab; and we commit ourselves to doing just that.
good wishes
jc
