begin at the beginning: No friends or known plans to travel to Australia, New Zealand or the like. The crisis, flights deciduous, the vast ocean. Is the best ham in the Alpujarras than Kangaroo Down Under. But do not be discouraged by such trifles. Among my small and I have devised a plan to have the desired picture: write a letter to an Australian asking the favor. Do you know any Australian? NO. Let's try with official institutions. For example, the Embassy. Yeah, right! The Embassy. Why has not happened before? But are you serious? Of course I'm serious! Also, I who will make the journey, not you. You stay so calm at home while I have to spend thousands of minutes put on a plane to get to God knows where. Okay, I'll write a letter.
D. Carlos Sanchez de Boado and avail myself:
Perhaps the issue I am going to expose you to be a little pilgrim, but I come to you as one of the latest solutions that have happened to me with a problem I have in recent weeks. The story is this: Last June I published a book entitled The 400 Blows. This is a volume of micro-stories in which I have collected my work over recent years. A few days after its filing a dear friend going on holiday to Venice and asked for a photograph of the book in a recognizable place in the city. Thus was born the project The trip from The 400 Blows, which can You see, if you are concerned at the following Internet address:
From that time were many friends (and strangers) who joined the proposal: the photographs of the book began to arrive from the most unlikely places: Asia, Europe, India, Central U.S. China ...
So far everything has gone great and I have a splendid collection of my book, traveling around the world ... Well, almost everyone. I just need to Oceania. Other four continents and I have in my collection but I can not find anyone who will soon travel to that distant place in the world. And here came the idea of \u200b\u200bwriting. My proposal is this: Would you be willing to send me a picture of my book in a well-known in Australia? It should not leave you in the picture, of course, but if you choose I feel very honored. The issue I would take his choice, but I wish it was something very significant in the country. How about a kangaroo? Or the famous Sydney Auditorium? In any case, all I would be interesting to photograph and publish (an or more) with great pleasure that would mean closing the tour. As you did Jules Verne's character, my book would have been around the world and could be a great culmination to my idea.
crazy hope that does not consider this proposal, the result of an artistic project that has been highlighted in national radio and positively criticized some media and blogs of famous writers.
If you can not devote themselves to making this work for lack of time or interest, I would ask that conveys the idea of \u200b\u200ba co-worker, relative or friend for him to do. If your answer is yes, he would send me the address you specify a copy of the book as soon as possible.
I count on your kindness and hope that this letter get involved in my project.
Waiting for your news received a warm greeting.
