Venice report, Genet and notes on unexpected encounters

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately I could not locate the Genet essay in English on Rembrandt. I will do some further research. The small Hanuman edition is rare and expensive so I will keep looking. In the meantime hope everyone is faring well. There is a lot of flue around so keep your immune system bolstered. I will be back soon.

Here is a photo of Jack’s Hotel where Genet died on April 14, 1986. My sister Linda took the picture while I was tracking Genet’s last days.
