    wrote to Alan furst asking him why Cafe heininger was in every book of his:" Does it still exist in Bastille? Did you have
    a wager with the owner one drunken night there exclaiming "And, you
    don't think I can write? That I'm not a writer! I'll write you in every
    book I write, salope!" or maybe they were kind to you in some
    unfathomable way in which you have repaid with each telling of the
    bullet hole in the mirror?"

    he rep0lied:

    Thanks for writing, don't know (computer change) if I answered but, in case
    I didn't, the Heininger (Bofinger) is still there, but I went recently and
    it's a tourist
    trap. Alas.I liked your fantasy about the owner, wish life were like that.
    All best,
    Alan Furst
