First almost public lecture

The reaction was obvious: tears, tomatoes and panties.
Thanks to Warren for organising it all.

Final Final Manuscript

Some more minor changes for perfect imperfection.
Still haven't done anything towards publishing it... oups

Final Manuscript?

Oufff.. Just uploaded what could be a 'final' manuscript of 'BLT: This Monkey goes to heaven'. Now contains also a Glossary - specially for Alexandra! - but you can use it too.
I'm now off trying to find an agent/editor...
>>Wish me luck!<<
BLT

NEWSFLASH

The first copy of BLT just sold for ... ONE DOLLAR ...!

This Monkey's Gone to Heaven

A user’s guide to monkey business

by Bernhard Leopold Topf

To the great people of Tsukuba, who are none of the below.

Prologue

M: So who do you think would be interested in your script?

B: Hmm, all kinds of folk, really. Well, it would be good if they had some basic knowledge on monkey business. And insights into German would be a plus, especially Bavarian German.

M: And it’s set in Japan..?

B: Yes, definitely, it would make a lot more sense to those who’ve been to Japan already. I mean, if someone knows Tsukuba, then, hey, waouhh! Especially in comparison with French social and work ethics.

S: But it’s a thriller, isn’t it?

B: Hmm, weeell, not exactly. It’s more about monkey business, really. And it’s a true story.

M: So, if we want to sell this manuscript, then the target group would be English-speaking Bavarian virologists with a professional experience in France, who have recently been to Tsukuba, but not necessarily like thrillers. Is that what you have in mind?

B: Err, yes. Do you think there’s a big market for it?
