I teach comparative literature and I am constantly searching for contemporary works and works from new authors.

On the top of my honor list and required reading for my students is THE MAN WITH THE BLACK WORRYBEADS by George N. Rumanes, a work about Greece.

I can load pages of praise for this book but instead, I will let the critics do this for me. So, please go to www.worrybeads.net

The Man With The Black Worrybeads will be my only holiday present to friends and relatives. My hope is that you will read this great work and make it your Christmas present and a present for any other occasion. It is a story that everyone should know.

I have found that buying books online is much more convenient and I’ll put my order in early. I wish you would do as well.
