Arrivederci Sicily is Michael
Palmer's fourth book of short
stories.
For 47 years, Michael was
a finance professor at the
University of Colorado in
Boulder. During that time his
only writing and publications
consisted of his academic research.
After retiring from his home campus in 2013,
Michael continued to teach as a visiting professor
in Japan and Italy. His assignments in those two
countries provided many of the ideas which
appear in his books, but especially in his fourth
book, Arrivederci Sicily.
