- Michael

‘So about Michael – I have to admit I hadn’t planned a sequel book but since you appear to be holding it in your hands… These things seem to creep up on you; a page in one’s diary two pages the same tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow it soon mounts up. People ask me if I myself am Greta Burgin and is the first book ‘In Defence of Men’ is autobiographical. Well if any of you know me by any of my other works you’ll know that is definitely not so. They also ask if my Greta was a real person. I say ‘take your pick from any one of the 50000 Bosnian rape victims that’s male as well as female you’ll find a little of Greta Burgin in each one of them.’ Then they ask if I know her personally. Again the answer must be no not really we were just as the saying goes ‘strangers passing in the night’ a fleeting amorous dalliance that and a lot of hard work and research plus the horrifying realization that such a thing another holocaust could have happened almost unnoticed in my lifetime.’
