Who let Michel Rio go out of print?

The base plot of Archipelago is contrived - more so than I expect from Rio. A school boy stays at school during a holiday and keeps the deformed librarian from committing suicide. This results in ... Despite the plot, the novel is an excellent read - dealing especially well with the character of an older student who exults in bored sophistication to cover a much less worldly insecurity. Michel Rio's writing is always a pleasure - some of his descriptive passages are touched with genius.The author is well worth building a demand for.
