Travels
Two travels to speak of, so far this year.
Really excited about the In Print festival at Ball State. March 21-22. You can get all of the info there, if you happen to be in MUNCIE or ENVIRONS.
April 27th and 28th is the Juniper Literary Festival at the University of Massachusetts-2nd time in Amherst in a year! A great line-up of about 20 people whose first books recently came out. Besides the reading on the 28th, I’m part of a roundtable discussion on “Weird War: The Politics of Whimsy.” So if you’re in the area, swing by/up/down.
I’ve always wanted to go to Environs.
(And doesn’t “environs” sound like it should be a French verb in the first person plural? J’envis, tu envis, il envit, nous environs, vous enviez, ils envirent?)
Mr. DeNiro,
I found your blog address in your book, Skinny Dipping in the Lake of the dead, and I just thought I’d tell you that I’m the Ball State Student that will be introducing you at the In Print festival
I’ve enjoyed reading your short stories, and I’m looking forward to meeting you.
