Goanetters in U.K. Please note!
To all those UK Goanetters and Goa lovers who inquired about my Goan novel,
The Sixth Night, here is some good news!
Thank you all for looking out for this novel patiently with oil in your
eyes.
This hard cover Goan novel is finally available in London, U.K., in Croydon
to be precise.
Only 10 copies are available right now.
Auntty Pontti (Francis Rodrigues) was kind enough to carry these heavy books
for me to U.K. from Toronto last week. Thank you Francis and Clara for the
great favour.
This is what happens to Goans who innocently tell others when and where they
are going.
Remember in Goa? If someone knows you are going to Bombay, they would bring
so much saman for you to take Are hem matxem vhor re mhojea ghovak.
So when I asked Auntty Pontti to take my parcel. She said Kiteak bhiela re
mhojea puta? Zata tem vortam! Avoiss, inga dukta, tinga dukta, avoiss.
Toshench vortam re tujem.
We dont get these kind of Samaritans any more anywhere.
We need real Goa lovers like you.
But there are Goans like these everywhere!
Another Goa lover and promoter, Gaspar Almeida arranged the delivery of 20
copies of my book to Kuwait recently, which were sold out right away.
Kuwait-karanno! Ani her Niz Goenkaramno! Tumkam sogleank choddam-chodd Dev
borem korum mhunntam!
Now Melvin Fernandes from London has kindly consented to do this favour for
me there.
Londoners can contact Melvin on his email at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You can also contact my cousin, Joe Rebello at 208-684-8905 ( Croydon) .
London readers, please excuse my small mistake in this book.
In one of the chapters in my novel dealing with life in London, I mistakenly
wrote Swansea, but it should have been Battersea instead, where G.O.A.
dances were held at some point in time. I realized this mistake myself just
after it was published and even Dr. Cornel Da Costa pointed it out to me
when he did his review.
Hope you enjoy this novel!
Thanks everyone,
Mog assum di!
Silviano C. Barbosa,
Author of the novel, The Sixth Night
