It is with sadness that I heard of the passing of my old friend, Lambert Mascarenhas. My condolences go to his family. Lambert belonged to a group of older, pioneering Goan literary figures that included Armando Menezes,, George Coelho, Joao da Veiga Coutinho, my siblings Oscar and Lyra, and others whose names escape me at the moment; most of them were studying at or had links to St. Xavier's College in Bombay in the 1930s. All of them have left behind writings that were published, and others in various stages of completion. Lambert's novel, Sorrowing Lies My Land, published in the 1950s, was a source of inspiration to many in my generation. If it is no longer in print; it deserves to be reprinted. May he rest in peace.
