There’s a lot to be said about Winter Institute 7, a conference attended by booksellers, publishers and authors this past week in New Orleans, but one thing is for sure: it was a literary love fest. There were so many people talking about the books they love, and for a change, Kelly, Emily and I were hand sold books for the upcoming season. One of the most talked about books right now is The Orphan Master’s Son by Adam Johnson. It was great to meet Adam at the conference. Adam came to the bookstore in 2003 for his novel Parasites Like Us, and he’ll be here Friday to sign his new book at 5:00 with a reading/talk to follow at 5.30. He loves Lemuria so let’s love him back! Come over for a $1 beer and a book!
That’s Nathan Englander on the right of Adam signing copies of his new book What We Talk about When We Talk about Anne Frank. Look for it in February!
