Events - 2008

L. A. Festival of Books

I had a great time at the Festival of Books in Los Angeles on Saturday and Sunday, April 26 and 27. The Festival, one of the largest in the U.S., was held on the UCLA campus. Hundreds of people stopped by the Swedenborg Bookroom at Booth 604, and the I had the opportunity to have some fascinating conversations with many of them.

Bless the woman who came up and said she'd bought The Arrivals at the 2004 Festival and had already bought and read The Wanderers and thoroughly enjoyed it too.

And also the nice person who emailed me three days after the Festival to say she couldn't put down The Wanderers until she'd finished it (plus some pleasant things about what she'd heard and talked about with people at the Booth). Thank you, thank you!


Discussion Group in Mitchelleville, Maryland

Just heard about a group in this area that will be reading and discussing The Wanderers in the coming weeks. If there's any interesting feedback, I'll share it.
