If You Go, Say Hi For Me!

I can't make it out to Kirby Gann's reading at McNally Robinson tonight, but if you want to support independent bookstores and small presses, you should totally drop by (at 7 p.m.) for the Ig Publishing Outsider Fiction night (which also features Robert Lasner). I met Kirby the last time he was in New York, around the time Our Napoleon in Rags came out, and we had a great lunchtime conversation about novel writing and his day job as the managing editor of Sarabande Books. Keep an eye on Kirby; you're going to be hearing more about him.
