Dear Makuchi,
After several years I have never had the chance to thank you enough for your beautiful writing. My Italian translation of "Your Madness, Not Mine" was a wonderful experience, a great score to finish my studies, and the best way to start my career as a translator. I am still planning to review those translations and find a publisher. I got in touch with some literary reviews lately, and I hope I will have the chance to share some of your stories with the Italian public. Of course, if this will come true, you will be the first to know.
Thank you again.
