I’m going to be reading from Necessary Errors on Thursday, November 21, at 7:30 pm at Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg, along with Sarah Bruni. This will be the end of my book tour, so it’s your last chance to get me to sign a copy (Word Bookstore will be selling copies).
The Castle from the Charles River
A 1930s-era postcard of the Castle from the Charles River.
If this image were included in an extra-illustrated binding of the novel Necessary Errors, it might follow page 421. (For an explanation of extra-illustration, click here.)
“Melville’s Secrets” in HTML
When my essay “Melville’s Secrets” was published last year by Leviathan: A Journal of Melville Studies, I wasn’t able to obtain permission to post a copy here on this blog. Since then, however, Leviathan has moved to a new publisher, Johns Hopkins University Press, which does allow scholars to archive their contributions on personal websites. With the editors’ permission, therefore, I’m posting the essay here today. (The essay is also available as a PDF at the journal’s website, if you work at an institution with a subscription to Project Muse).
A short story
A short story of mine is going to be published in the 2014 issue of the journal Little Star, which will soon be published. You can order a copy of the new issue now at a prepublication discount.
The Wallenstein Gardens
A photograph from 1990 or 1991 of the Wallenstein Gardens in Prague.
If this image were included in an extra-illustrated binding of the novel Necessary Errors, the binder would be at liberty to position it pretty much anywhere. (For an explanation of extra-illustration, click here.)
