Paradise Newsletter: 3

Welcome once again to the Punters' Paradise newsletter. This is the third edition of this extraordinary publication already being talked about in the same hushed tones as the early translations of Solzhenitsyn and Bulgakov. And, yes, they are just as subversive.

You know our stilo: interviews and reviews mixed with hard-boiled opinion and comment. We go straight to the horse's mouth, hold a pistol to its head and tell the trainer that Dobbin had better make like Mister Ed and tell us exactly where it's at.

Expect nothing less from us.

Regards

The papacy market.

As the smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel last month, liberation theologists were not the only ones left clutching their rosary beads praying for an outsider.
