So now there's a stack of these in Porter Square Books:



The reading went really well. nineweaving's new paperback is very classy. Afterward derspatchel presented me with a hardcover reprint of Esther Averill's Jenny and the Cat Club (1973) and sairaali gave me a stunningly adorable hand-knitted nudibranch. I got to talk to schreibergasse for more than half an hour between job interviews and audioboy took the picture above. My book is sitting between something with a cat on it and the paperback of a novel I have been waiting for.

Evening: success.

Is that Gladstone's Full Fathom Five to the left of your book? Did you pick it up? I'm looking forward to your review of it.

It is! I didn't pick it up last night, because I fell in love with a bilingual edition of Pasolini's poetry, but the purchase of that resulted in a frequent buyers' coupon and therefore I will apply it to Full Fathom Five the next time I'm in the store, because I have heard nothing but good things about that novel and I'm really curious.
