A Moment for Me and, More Importantly, Nick Laird

If you'll pardon a self-centered interlude (I know the whole notion of blogging is inherently self-centered, but let's gloss over that for now), I'm ecstatic that a novel I'm publishing, which went on sale just the other day, receives a quite favorable review in today's New York Times from Michiko Kakutani. You can read the review right here, and you can pick up the book at a friendly neighborhood store.
