Early on when I started writing stories people would tell me that they were really visual. I took that as a pejorative for some reason—I wanted my stories to be cerebral. Or something. But I guess I'm a visually oriented person—is that glib to say?

The Interloper is a great read. I read it this summer in two days. Keep your eyes peeled for an effeminate waiter* named Eduardo in the novel. The truth hurts!
Not.
Proud to be a sissy.

Eduardo,
Thanks for the props. Don't sell yourself short, though...he's a concierge, and a goateed one at that.
Thanks also for the heads up on those Shane Book poems!
Cheers, A
