I’m catching up on some reading today. Starting in on Goodwillie’s galley for his first novel, American Subversive, and I’m re-reading Book 4 today as well. I’ve got one review, one pitch, and one essay to finish and they will be done before I leave for Italy, but today may not be the day I start in on them.
I’m sort of too cranky to write, I must admit. It is all feeling a little dire, what with the Times announcing the fading of our literary culture.
I am, however, pretty excited about the Largehearted Lit event this Sunday with Lev Grossman and Libba Bray. (Vol 1. Brooklyn even did a nice interview with David and me about it!) There will be singing. There will be rapping. It will be a giant nerdfest. I hope you can all come.
We can still have some fun even as it all goes to hell.
