Well, I’ve been writing.

Not here.

So that’s a good thing.

Unless you enjoy reading this blog.

If you want to complain about it in person, come see me at the LA Times Festival of Books this coming weekend. I’ll be on a panel called “Fiction: Breaking Point” with Hari Kunzru, John Wray, and [...]
