A Virtual Reading


Rick Kleffel, out in Northern  California, runs one of the most interesting websites and does  just a wonderfully thoughtful job at interviewing, that the whole experience becomes like a virtual reading.  In his Agony Column, Rick reviews Angels.  The first section is a reading from the novel--the same chapter I read in bookstores--and the rest is an intelligent chat about the book, the writing process, and the meaning of it all.

Politics & Prose

Angels was #1 in Fiction at Politics & Prose this past week, thanks no doubt to everyone who came to the reading on Sunday. Gwen Ifell's new book was #1 in Non-fiction, so good company indeed. A hundred thousand thanks.

There's no place quite like an independent bookstore, and P&P is especially labyrinthian enough to get lost in, a little like dreamland.
