  “Itwas, of course, disappointing that Arts Council England did not choose to lookoutwards  but, in any case, we were notdefeated, but  only strengthened by thatapparent setback, and Interlitq has now regrouped successfully in order toengage in its essential undertaking—which is to publish the finestinternational literature.

www.interlitq.wordpress.com
