    Excerpt from a book I'm reading, Slow Poison, by Mahmood Mamdani, father of Zorhan Mamdani."FBI agents knocked onmy door...they asked what I thought of Marx. I said I hadnever met him. Not surprisingly, this Ugandan Muyindi had never heard of KarlMarx. “He’s dead.”I said, “I'm sorry, what happened?”“No, he died long ago.”I wondered why, then, the question. “Why, then, are you asking me?”Later, I would remind myself: the FBI introduced me to Karl Marx!

    @szbalint This is true. The forensic pathologist's name is Pétur Guðmann Guðmannsson. He did a few seminars for crime writers via the continuing education centre of the University of Iceland where he's an assistant professorI don't think he does the seminars any more but AFAICT he's still answering email questions from writersCBC did an interview with him a couple of years ago https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/iceland-forensic-pathologist-1.6911486

    Question for #publishing folks:I've sent 2 rights reversion requests to my publisher (address verified with my former editor). Can't get confirmation of receipt. What's the best approach here? Keep sending the same letter? Have a lawyer send a copy for me? Head to NYC and try to deliver the letter by hand?FWIW I'm pretty clear they're going to refuse, but I can't even get confirmation they know I've asked. #books #writing #writingcommunity
