Apparently, in November, a new book about Dire Straits came out in France. I believe the author is Arnaud Devillard and it also includes an interview with Mark by Christian Eudeline. There has been a bit of discussion on AMIT about it by several people who have either read it or are in process of reading it. Several items were mentioned that came from the prologue and the first chapter that may be of interest to the group. In relation to our timeline, here are some of them.
There were some other items that may come up later on, or may not. <_< |

Nice one Linda! I heard of Arnaud Devillard before! I even had been approached by him on Facebook! On the other hand, weather you might be also interested, I heard that he is in some connection with Mark and also that Mark read the book and wrote some recension there. I believe I saw somewhere the book exist in English though I can't find it out there now? Anyway, here is the thread about the book I've found on AMIT (and it is relatively fresh thread!): http://www.amarkintime.org/forum/index.php?topic=4881.0 And the another link in case someone wants to order it in French: http://www.amazon.ca/Dire-Straits-Arnaud-D...d/dp/2360541846 |

I have not seen any indication that it is available in English, but anything is possible. I know the poster mentioned having to use Google translator to give a sense of the second phrase - which seems to be America fantasized, or perhaps American fantasy. I would guess that as the poster gets through it, he may add more information to the AMIT thread. |

Thanks Linda, that is some interesting information, I didn't know Mark tried learning the piano so young, and I didn't know about the Creole line in Sultans... that line had always puzzled me, now I know the answer :waytogo: |
