Vainglorious!

Now it is the time on the "blog" when I pack away my normal tendency toward altruism and try to trick you into buying my book. I'm sorry! If you are not in the mood to buy a book, please stop reading now. Okay. We received a pleasant note from "Blog" Buddy Mark Childress today. He sent a "link" to the "web" site of a magazine called "The Brooklyn Rail," and on that "web" site was a kind and generous review of my new book. If you "click" on the part of the last sentence that is differently tinted than the rest of the sentence, you will be sent to the review. But I warn you, this fellow is thorough! His honeyed words will perhaps make you want to buy BOTH of my books. You have been warned.
