Just in
I’m just in from the Exile launch, which I left all too soon as I have 600 impossible things to accomplish before bedtime. Had the great pleasure of hearing Rebecca Rosenblum read though, and I picked up the new issue of the Quarterly— it’s beautiful.
In others, I am thrilled that writer Justine Picardie has started blogging. I fell in love with her writing when I lived in England, particularly her memoir If the Spirit Moves You and I look forward to reading her new novel Daphne. Maud Newton on Laura Lippman (whose What the Dead Know made for a perfect cottage read last summer). The Great Gatsby celebrated in The Globe & Mail. And Steven W. Beattie reads Nikolski.
Hello Kerry, and thanks for the welcome. If I wasn’t so technically incompetent, I would link your blog to mine, but haven’t got the hang of links yet. Pathetic, I know. But I am learning, slowly.
Justine
And it’s nice to hear from you! May the learning proceed, and I look forward to following your progress.
