Dear Primavera, Thank you for your kind message. I’m glad you enjoyed the Replay annex. I’m very eager for the English release in March which will let you share it with your family. (For now, the book is available in French)
You can find information about availability, including the possibility to pre-order a signed copy of the English edition of Replay, here: https://www.jordanmechner.com/en/books/replay/ Yes indeed, Carl Mechner was my grandfather’s older brother, an opera singer. I'm not sure if the attached image will come through in this email, but here are four panels from “Replay” page 112, showing Carl around 1911. He returned to Czernowitz after the war, later moved to Bucarest and lived there until his death in 1981. I’ll send you a separate email with more information and links to my grandfather’s memoir including his reminiscences about Carl.
