Dear editor at the Mir,
This is a most unique message from the promised holy land!

First off, I sure hope this email finds you doing swell!
Please allow me to introduce myself:

My name is Noah Cohen, “The Philosopher”; I am a writer, 35 years old, (still) living in Jerusalem, Israel.

I am the first writer ever in the history of the state of Israel that has taught himself English for many years, and about to publish all his novels straight abroad, as opposed to all the others that have been translated, after having read thousands of books (endless classics), and for years, translated word by word, one expression after another, obsessively, preparing myself (something that I did not realize at the time) to be writing for the international arena.
I have got 5 novels, the third of which, “from hell till eternity”, that conveys a free, infernal, philosophical and rather crazy translation to the holy story of Job from the bible (!), is now being offered to be bought in 25,000 retailers, worldwide. Decidedly, all my novels depict humanity and creation, using extremely original tools, each story paints a different colorful aspect about the human condition, what it is to be alive.
The mortal coil and all…

Please do me the great honor by Googling:

NOAH COHEN, THE PHILOSOPHER, “FROM HELL TILL ETERNITY”, offered also through my publisher “RAIDER PUBLISHING INTERNATIONAL”, located in Manhattan, NY, NY.

Is there any way you may assist this so-so special gem? A review? An article? Perhaps you may direct me to the right person in your Newspaper or magazine, or even the local industry? My ultimate goal, is to unleash my divine candle’s glow, finally, unto the entire globes’ awareness, slicing through endless artificial flashlights, in the process…

May I ask my publisher to send you a copy immediately for your consideration, wow, what an honor would it be for me, to be reviewed in your paper, for sure!!!
I cannot thank you enough, God bless you!

The only point of contention I have here is that I would not consider Rushdie to be a magical realist (most of the time). A great deal of his work is flat-out fantasy, even when he tries to write otherwise. I tend to think of magical realism as heavily subdued fantasy. For me, Rushdie is everything but subdued.

But that’s nothing to do with Fakinou, who sounds very interesting indeed!

It’s always encouraging to hear Malaysian fantasy and scifi writing is going places. And mentioned in a previous post, Malaysia has such a rich folklore of beliefs, superstitions and things that go bump in the night, that I knew I had to write my stories based on it.

I’m definitely going to check each of your lovely links, as there’s a lot more reading and research I need to do of local works. Keep up the good work, and much thanks again!
