Hi!
I’m also going to be helping Jeff out during his sabbatical, and hope to help keep the site lively. I’m hoping to soon have a translation of Sigi Sciortino’s interview with Mauro Bonannini, along with an on-line petition re: Don Quixote. I’ve also scanned several book covers, and they’ll be up soon as well, so we intend to keep up the resources section as much as possible; if any of you have material you think relevant, please send it in.
This has been a banner year so far for things Welles, and there’s going to be lots more to talk and think about. Callow’s Vol. 2 will soon hit North America, as well as new books by Joseph McBride, Jonathan Rosenbaum, Randy Rasmussen’s (“Orson Welles:Six Films Analyzed, Scene by Scene”), and hopefully Catherine Benamou’s long-awaited work on Welles in Brazil. And let’s not forget the new BBC radio play featuring Simon Callow which is based on “Put Money in thy Purse” and which will be available for free download for one week (from yesterday) on the BBC.
Many thanks to Jeff for his steady stewardship of the site for it’s first 5 years, and I know we all hope he gets involved again as soon as he wants to.
Tony
