James Yeh tagged me in this game where you say seven things about yourself, but seven things! In public! Here are some true things, though: Last night I ate a duck. I am reading Distortions by Ann Beattie, who was once married to David Gates. I got the book free from Bookmooch. Heidi Julavits has a great story in the January Harpers. it’s called The Santosbrazzi Killer. If that link doesn’t work, email me or comment and I will send you the story as a PDF (holiday gift). This is a picture of me with Lawrence’s sister’s cat Lucy, in Lawrence’s childhood bedroom, writing this post. She is a very talky cat and helps me cope with the fact that Stephen and Stephen’s Friend are in small cages back in Brooklyn. I wish these statements were true of me: “laid-back, cool and collected” and “He gives off a little oasis of calm.”
