Folks; here is an announcement about a new novel with our beloved older
brother in the title.

Just returned from MLA in Chicago and it was (hem!) very MLA-ish.  Good to
see some of you folk there.  Our panel yesterday was in the very bowels of
the building ‹ it might have been useful to have a treasure map to find
it.
Interesting and entertaining as always to hear from Bruce Michelson, Joe
Csicsila, and Ann Ryan.

Happy New year to all!

Praise for
CHANNELING MARK TWAIN


"Effortlessly, the narrator's story here becomes one with the stories of the
women in prison. Rarely do we encounter a perspective clear as glass through
which the characters look back at the narrator without mirror or microscope,
false hierarchy or romanticizing. Brava!"
- Toni Morrison
