It's time for the
Oxford (Mississippi) book conference. Come out and listen to people talk about books! Does that sound exciting? Then the Oxford Conference for the Book is probably for you! As for me, there's nothing I like better. Tomorrow at 3 o'clock local time I will be on a panel with Susan Choi, moderated by the extremely moderate
Tom Franklin. Ms. Choi, by the way, wrote the novel AMERICAN WOMAN, which exerted profound influence on the
Patricia Hearst chapter of
Theresa's dissertation. Please stop by and say hello to Ms. Choi, Mr. Franklin, and myself. Help me mark my triumphant return to
the fabled Nutt auditorium.
