Content and physical description
ContentNikos Kazantzakis agrees with Bohuslav Martinů. The best solution to his predicament is to start creating. This is the only way for BM to resolve problems that cannot be solved by mere reasoning. NK is planning to travel during July and August, so if BM would like to meet him before then, he has to set a meeting date. NK's latest novel, Freedom or Death, has not yet been published in France - it will be published in London in the autumn. NK was pleased to hear BM's concert on the radio two days ago.
