Thursday Nextreme



Felicia Johnston

When visiting Iran recently, I was aware of the strict limitations on Western literature. Having just received my newly published copy of First Among Sequels one hour before departing from the airport, I decided to trust that - while replete with references to western literature - First Among Sequels would not constitute the 'offensive' literature that is prohibited in the country. Thankfully this turned out to be correct.

So, having strolled around Isfehan for a few hours, sweltering in my hijab and manto in forty-five degree heat, I decided to take a moment to catch up on the latest doings of Ms Next-Parke Laine while outside the Palace of Forty Columns. Perhaps the adventures of Thursday will one day reach the number of 1001 stories told by Sherezade in the ancient literature...

Best wishes,

Felicia
