Michael Chabon (along with his wife, Ayelet Waldman) is speaking in Pittsburgh tonight! Apparently professional book reviewers have already received review copies of The Yiddish Policeman's Union--I am of course seething with jealousy. I wanna read it NOW!
Sorry for the radio silence this weekend--Saturday was movie night (All About my Mother and Psycho Beach Party really work as a double feature) and Sunday featured Super Bowl shenanigans (I forced my hosts to put the Puppy Bowl on picture-in-picture, and then left at the start of the third quarter so I could better watch the puppies and kitty halftime show. C'mon, you know I don't care about football unless one of the, like, three teams I sort of care about are involved). Oh, I also spent most of the rest of my time this weekend napping and/or watching "The Vicar of Dibley" from Netflix, so I didn't get much reading done.
Oh, now what the heck! Why didn't anyone tell me Chabon was starting his NY Times novel-serialization project last weekend??
fun fact: I was once in a stage version of Psycho Beach Party, at the old location of Manbites Dog Theater, in a strip mall across from a pawn shop, in Durham. It was a RIOT.
ReplyDeleteSee, this is why you're my hero!! Who did you play?
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmmmichael Chabon!
ReplyDeletein a role that I didn't quite inhabit - I was the "movie star." I'm not particularly an actress, so I just bought a very weird loud long dress and sunglasses at Time after Time and let that do most of the acting for me :-)
