++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Goanet: 10 Years Young |G|o|a|n|e|t|1|9|9|4|-|2|0|0|4| http://www.goanet.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Some updates on Dom Moraes, the son of Frank Moraes (and nephew of Goanetter Dr Teresa Albuquerque) who died some weeks back: Ironically, for somebody who had the reputation of being a 'stranger', it may be interesting to note that he wrote more books about India than most of the know writers of our time. His travelogues about India like 'Gone Away' (1960), 'The Open Eyes: A Journey through Karnataka' (1974), 'A Family in Goa', 'Bombay' (1979), and then his masterpiece 'My Son's Father: A Poet's Autobiography' (1968), 'The Tempest Within: An Account of East Pakistan (1971), etc also sort of explains the comparatively small output of his poetry. -- Kumar Vickram writing in the July 2004 issue of 'National Book Trust Newsletter', New Delhi. BOOKS TODAY, the book club magazine of the INDIA TODAY group, in its August 2004 issue also features Dom Moraes' new work: THE PENGUIN BOOK OF INDIAN JOURNEYS, ed Dom Moraes. This volume brings together pieces by some of the best contemporary writers in the English language -- R K Narayan, V S Naipaul, Vikram Seth, Salman Rushdie, Ruskin Bond, Kushwant Singh, Mark Tully, Paul Theroux, William Dalrymple, to name a few. Travel writers -- Indian and foreign, as well as well as compulsive wanderers without a home -- engage with the comforts and the chaos, the convictions and the contradictions of modern, independent India 384 pages, flexiback.

I found in the Asia Magazine an interview with political prisoner in Indonesian gulag made by Dom Moraes. I looked through the picture taken in 1972 compare to his new book 2003 its seem the same person. Would you help me track down. Is it this the same man who work form Asia Magazine 31 years ago. If yes, would help me find his address and phone number? The reason for this: Indonesia femous writer that Pramoedya Ananta Toer was interviewed by Dom Moraes. Dom Moraes was the only journalist who could get access to the very remote Indonesia Gulag. He made such a remarkable writing. Would he has some story left unwrite? Pramoedya Ananta Toer is the only Asia contestant for Nobel prize. He is in Sweden now. Thank you, Poriaman Sitanggang -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Frederick Noronha 784 Near Convent, Sonarbhat, SALIGAO, GOA India Freelance Journalist TEL: +91-832-2409490 MOBILE: 9822122436 http://fn.swiki.net http://www.livejournal.com/users/goalinks fred at bytesforall.org http://www.bytesforall.org
