We interrupt this longer-than-intended silence from the blog to burble over with this thrilling news: Chang-rae Lee. Next Thursday. At the Barnes & Noble two minutes from my house.
It's time for a blissful re-read of Aloft, and to remember an unplanned moment of pure happiness from last year: waiting in a parking lot, with the not-too-hot-yet late afternoon spring sun streaming in and a Beethoven piano sonata unspooling in the background, noshing on an Asiago cheese bagel still warm from the oven and cradling a sweating, ice-clinking lemon-strawberry iced tea, and reading (or should I say soaring on) the levitating prose of this book.
