Started reading Hotel World by Ali Smith and it's incredible how every so often you can just immediately tell from a book's first chapter that it's going to be the kind of revelatory life-changing read you do so much searching for

“her grandfather’s garden, a place she still describes excitedly. I think everything I’m trying to do here is not so much the plants but to see if I can recreate the feelings I’ve experienced in my grandfather’s garden. I can see the expectation put upon the trees and hedges…’ -Alice Vincent

Just as I promised myself to cut back on the book buying, Ali Smith is interviewed on the radio about her book in which people are called 'unverified' and hence can't access anything online. "Information is not the same as having knowledge" she says. The book is inspired by UK library closures.

Ali Smith discusses the authoritarian themes in her new novel 'Gliff'

In Ali Smith's latest novel, "Gliff," a brother and sister befriend a horse in a dystopian future. NPR's Scott Simon explores the issue of authoritarianism with the novelist and playwright.

I’m excited to be participating in my all-time favorite book fest, the Tennessee Williams Festival, this Friday in New Orleans. My book, LETTING IN AIR AND LIGHT, will be for sale there by Octavia Books. The rest of the weekend, I’ll be attending the fest. Like I said, it’s my favorite.

Social media tile with my photo and the cover of my book along with the info for the panel I will be participating in this Friday at 2:30 pm.

A photo from my best friend in Norway reading my essay about my experiences reading Kristin Lavransdatter years before I knew her. 😍 A circling.

A copy of my essay in Literary Mama—Bob’s Kristin Lavransdatter—lit up by distant lights in the dark of Norway at 7AM. Thanks to Cathrine.
