In case you missed it, my old Chicago friend Sarah Terez Rosenblum (who profiled me in the Sun-Times not too long ago) and I did a reading at The Booksmith in June. The theme was OBSESSION, which has to be written in all-caps or it doesn’t count. Sarah read from her debut novel, Herself When She’s Missing, and I read a short personal story called People You Loved Who Weren’t Me. Thanks to Evan Karp for filming, and for keeping the lit scene, well, seen.

And S.F. people — on July 27, I’ll be reading at Lone Glen with some amazing friends. I’m trying to convince one of them to tell a really embarrassing blow job story. We’ll see if that happens.
