I gave a reading from "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" last night at the Writers With Drinks event at the Cafe Du Nord. I was followed by Lynn Breedlove, who read from her new novel, "Godspeed," which is an intense and comic story about a bike courier's unrequited love for a stripper, witty as Bukowski at his finest, but with the ferocity of Chuck Palahniuk. Another book vying for the top of my must-read pile.
Thanks, by the way, to all the friends and readers who came out last night — it was a full house, and it was terrific to see you all.
