I think it is immensely difficult to get the U. S. interested in non-U. S. topics. I dont think this is because the average American reader is disinterested, but more because of publishers playing it safe: if a thriller based in L. A. is a sure winner, why spend money plugging one based in Paris - or Bangkok?

The position of Prussia in Germany will not be determined by its liberalism but by its power. . . Prussia must concentrate its strength and hold it for the favorable moment, which has already come and gone several times. Since the treaties of Vienna, our frontiers have been ill-designed for a healthy body politic. Not through speeches and majority decisions will the great questions of the day be decided - that was the great mistake of 1848 and 1849 - but by iron and blood (Eisen und Blut).

If there is such a thing as marriage, it takes place long before the ceremony; in a car on the way to the airport; or as a gray bedrooms fills with dawn, one lover watching the other; or as two strangers stand together in the rain with no bus in sight, arms weighed down with shopping bags. You don't know then. But later you realize - that was the moment.
