Query: Reply to the reader from Jerusalem, Palestine

I share the other reviewers' admiration for this writer. In answer to your question and in case you have not heard by now, Rachid Mimouni died in a hospital in Paris, of acute viral hepatitis, on 12 February 1995. He was aged only 49. I was composing letters of support to him in my head when I happened to hear this tragic news on French radio. Only a short while before there had been an interview with him on FranceInter, and you may find out more about this from their website. I remember I wrote to the 'Times' to complain that it had not published an obituary. Of course, I got no reply. (This country is indifferent to writers like Mimouni the same way it tries to be indifferent to the truth about Palestine.)
