Oh dear, I can only imagine what sort of angsty situations you've dreamed up for the lads! Does Dinaden debut in this one? Is he with Tris (though why do I bother asking when you'll just leave me hanging until tomorrow)? Can't wait, regardless. Once I've committed to going on a rollercoaster, I don't chicken out, ever.
I'm going to try to score some copies of the new Murakami collection in June. If I score enough copies, you're getting one of them.
Just finished The Promise of Happiness. God, was that unexpectedly good. Ended up buying it (St. Martin's is one of the only publishing houses that's particulalry stingy about giving up ARC's or actual copies). Sweetly melancholy, beautifully written.
BTW, the PEN World Voices literary festival is ongoing. Most of the events are free of charge, and the line-up this year is jam packed. If you're free over the weekend and looking for stuff to do, check some of the readings out. On Friday night, Chris Abani and Colm Toibin are reading at KGB, Phllip Gourevitch is at the Goethe Institute, and there's a panel on twentieth-century Revolution in literature at the Public Library. I haven't checked out the rest of the weekend yet, but it all looks good. Anyway, here's the link.
