We love the stories and descriptions so much, we are going to follow much of your Bruno route in July, excepting Bordeaux. We would like a central base however, where would you suggest please? Also, yet another request (demande?) for an English language cookbook!

When will there be a proper update of the site? And maybe a complete list of Bruno books?
The list of books can be found, in release order, under the 'Reviews' section of the website. 22/9/2018 09:38:13 am
I'm really looking foreward to see Bruno on the screen. But PLEASE!!!!! don't let it get such a shallow farce like all the Donna Leon Series! I really like her Brunetti-novels but the screenplay is a No-Go. Please take care that the complex character of Bruno and the whole stories stay as they are!
I'm confident that Bruno is in safe hands! We're very much in pre-production, but nothing I've seen so far has given me any cause for concern in discussion.

Just finished the 'A Taste for Vengeance' and loved it. Some minor inaccuracies in detail which I would be delighted to discuss with you privately?

Mr. Walker -- just finished The Resistance Man (my first Bruno) and was delighted to find it centered around Bergerac. My father (a navigator on a B-17) was shot down near St. Nazaire on the 1st of May 1943. He escaped capture and traveled south on a bicycle. According to his post-escape debriefing, he skirted Bergerac only to blunder up to the gate of the German-occupied airport south of town. He calmly dismounted and walked his bike away from the sentry. A day or two later he reached Agen, where he holed up with a French family for two weeks before finally trekking over the Pyrenees into neutral Spain. He was the 44th allied airman to escape successfully.

Mr. Walker, You are, of course, right. There were bitter divisions, both in SDS and in the WSA, almost all of whom staunchly opposed the tactics pursued by the Weather People. But the character in the novel who makes this connection - "closely associated with the violent extremists..." is a French security official, most of whose information would have come from the FBI, and we know dubious many of their reports proved to be, particularly in the overheated atmosphere of the times, with the RAF in Germany, the Red Brigades in Italy, the Tupamaros and so on. As the role of Jacqueline develops in the novel, I hope it becomes clear that she is a respected scholar and historian, a radical activist and a fine woman. Perhaps I should have made this more explicit but I thought her character as it emerged spoke for itself. Thank you for our comment and I am delighted that you enjoy the Bruno novels. I greatly enjoy writing them, not least because they make a broad canvas in which I can explore many of my other interests, from archaeology to the French Resistance, from food and wine to Europe's recent history and politics. 19/1/2019 05:19:45 pm
Mr. Walker, A consistent follower of the Bruno series, I have now shared [some say infected] with my staff and our museum travel group - Schiele Explorers. We are planning a trip to Sarlat and environs. Do you work with tour companies? I am an anthropologist/archaeologist/museum director with strong interests in France. I appreciated from the beginning the fluid intergration of food, social ties, and the land.Best to you.

I hope to read a reply! We are doing a canal trip in July followed by a few days in Brno country! We feel we know him! 22/3/2019 12:37:21 pm
How come there are no references to Occitan in the Bruno novels, as it is spoken in the Dordogne? Or did I just miss them all? 5/4/2019 11:02:24 am
Здравствуйте, Мартин: около полдюжины ваших поклонников соберутся на вилле возле Английской библиотеки в конце сентября и начале октября. Посещение с нами, даже ломать хлеб, было бы недорогим местом для продвижения следующей книги Бруно. Если вам будет интересно, у вас есть мой адрес электронной почты. С наилучшими пожеланиями. Ричард
Privyet. Richard y pozdravlayou vam na yazik. Ya vcyo zabil.

WHEN WILL THERE BE AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE COOKBOOK? AND WHY WAS IT WRITTEN IN GERMAN TO BEGIN WITH?
Because it was commissioned by my German language publishers, who thought there would be legs in the concept. And they were right -- work on cookbook two (also in German) is well under way. 24/4/2019 12:56:05 am
