当时的文字我起名《漂泊者日记》， 那时中国外出的人员还很稀少，我企图用我的真实经历给国内的人们，讲述海外华人奋斗的故事。三十几年来这些故事，零零星星发表在各种媒体上。有朋友便建议我把这些文字整理成回忆录出版，但是越整理，我越不敢把印成书了。原来回忆录是最难写的一种体裁，回忆录是最讲真话的文体，刚从充满谎言的文革时代过来，心里还充满对讲真话的恐惧，于是放弃了出版的念头。大人物的回忆录，是历史长河里的洪流，但却常常会卷入泥沙，浑浊了历史的真实。像我们一类的小人物，只是奔腾历史长河中飞溅的水花，水花是不显眼的，但她仅仅在阳光下一闪，便记忆下历史最真实的片刻。从这点感觉出发，我剩余的大量素材，以散文的文体，讲述着旅欧华人（包括自己）的故事，集在了《七十年变迁-张甲林回忆录》集子中出版 。

When Graham Caveney was a child the word 'cancer' was unspeakable, only uttered in jokes told by people too frightened to say the word in any other context. Now the boy with perpetual nervousness is a fifty-something man, and the oncologist in front of him is saying words evacuated of all meaning: Inoperable. Incurable. In this startling and deeply moving memoir from one of the great chroniclers of British working-class life, Graham Caveney charts a year of disease from diagnosis to past 'original sell-by-date'. Shot through with Northerness, tenderness, and Caveney's trademark humour, The Body in the Library reflects on an unfinished lifetime filled with books and with love. What's it like to realise that the books on your shelf will remain unread? That the book you are writing will be your last - that you have become your own deadline?

His columns cover life in Devon and then France, as well as drinking and occasional drug taking, his love of literature, and life itself, and are imbued with bathos, insight, and a finely honed sense of the absurd.

"This memoir about the experiences of German occupation during the siege of Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) was written by Moscow-born Evdokiia Vasil'evna Baskakova-Bogacheva (1888-1976), an âemigrâe in Australia, at the age of eighty-one. The text had been forgotten in the Museum of Russian Culture in San Francisco since 1970 until the editors of this volume discovered it. ... After accounting her youth spent against the background of the First World War and of the two Russian revolutions of 1917, Evdokiia describes the inferno of the Nazi occupation as experienced in a suburb of Leningrad in 1941-43. She survived for nearly two years almost on the front line, within a few kilometers of the blockade ring. As a medical practitioner, she became useful for the occupational authorities and the ever-shrinking town population, until her family was evacuated to the west in October 1943. Besides hunger, discord, disease, [and] the hunt for food and firewood, along with violence and death, Evdokiia's account deals with various forms of cooperation between Soviet citizens and the new authorities"--Provided by publisher.
