3 things about Jirí Barta’s THE PIED PIPER [1986]

1. Bolts of luxury fabrics swarming with rats.
2. Siphoning away the sugar.
3. He gathers the infant in his arms and abandons the emptied town.

A perfectly timely tale.

I just paid a visit to Barry Gifford, who turned 79 yesterday! The guy has two books ready to publish and a couple screenplay ideas. We should all stay so young!
