Dear goa-book-club members,
I would like to thank Mr. Carlos M. Fernandes of Goa State Central Library for purchasing 10 copies of my Goan novel, "The Sixth Night".
I applaud his efficiency in acquiring my book so expeditiously.
This is the way I 'd like Goa Government to act whenever there are justifiable complaints from the general public.
I tried without success in getting my book in the various libraries in Goa by personally contacting them, but when I wrote and complained about Goan libraries not showcasing books by certain authors on various Goan internet groups/forum like Goa-Book-Club, Goanet, etc, it really did have an effect.
So I'd like to thank all those who made this happen, especially Frederick Noronha who explained the process and others who may have approached the authorities concerned in taking quick action and promoting Goan authors and their creations!
So dear readers, writing about injustice does really work in Goa.
This is the only way to make INDIA number 1.
And Goans, let's not be second to none!
I also verified that my book is kept in the Goa University Library.
Thanks to everyone who helped!
Cheers!
Silviano Barbosa
