Once again, minutes before the scheduled start of a bookstore event, violent weather strikes. I am trying not to take it personally.
The first time it happened, at RJ Julia in Madison, CT, turnout was slim – there was a tornado warning, for Pete’s sake! – and I do not have a local circle of friends in that area.
Last night, however, playing for the home crowd, not only friends but total strangers packed the Lenox Bookstore. The interview on WAMC’s Roundtable seemed to do the trick.
While at the Bookstore, I learned from proprietor Matt Tannenbaum about this review of FROM SQUARE ONE, in the Kenyon Review.
On to Brooklyn!
