New Ann Patchett Novel

Sometimes I think the grandest thing about living in Nashville is that Ann Patchett happens to live here too. I've never actually met her, but that doesn't matter one bit. However, she is speaking at Davis-Kidd this Friday, September 28 at 6:00 p.m. about her new novel called Run. It is getting rave reviews already. I missed Elizabeth Gilbert speaking about Eat, Pray, Love - big mistake. Not missing this appearance! See you there.

yikes, did you catch john updike's review in the n'yorker? it certainly isn't a rave review!

which is not to say that i like, trust, or admire john updike. i think he's generally wrong in his reviews.

read review yesterday before her talk and was soooo bummed out. but then it occurred to me that I don't even read John Updike, so why should I listen to him.

her talk was entertaining, and the book is a page-turner. Started reading it this morning and I'm hooked.
