Lit’ry Corner
Henry Farrell got me into a to-do for novelist Alan Furst at GWU this evening. The food was fabulous and the author did not disappoint. Controversial GWU President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg did the introduction, and it was good – the kind of informed appreciation a writer can get, if lucky, from a very smart fan. See previous Furst-blogging on this site and current Furst-blogging from Brad DeLong. Furst read a few pages from The Foreign Correspondent, which will be out in time for Father’s Day – 2006. I have to say, the excerpt completely hooked me.
In other literary news, Patrick Nielsen Hayden passes along a link to a diverting webcomic featuring Jonathan Lethem and Michael Chabon – and Candace Bushnell.

Man, I wish I’d known about that, I’m a big Furst fan, too. I’ll take some kind of consolation in that I might not have been free, anyway.
