Dan Conaway Unmasked? Will He Attend the Earl’s Conference?
Dateline: New York, New York. Olivia Earthwindandfire reporting: In a week of staggering revelations the publishing world is topsy-turvy again today with the news that Mad Max Perkins is the editor of Sara Gran’s forthcoming novel, Dope. From my vantagepoint on the ramparts of Belvedere Castle I can see the new Hayden Planetarium…and the vesitgial remains of the Croton reservoir, the occassional duck, some joggers…
The Earl here. It is rare that I pull the plug on a reporter in the field, but I sense Ms. Earthwindandfire should have booked her New York visit weeks ahead of time. I believe in spontaneity; in fact, it is my most endearing trait as confirmed by several focus groups selected at random in various train stations hereabouts. I will say that I enjoy Sara Gran’s blog and was quite surprised not to receive an Arc from her publisher. Perhaps they thought my attention was elsewhere during the holidays. Despite being stuck in a chimney I managed to read an old Ross Thomas novel whilst remaining au currant with the Frey affair. I’m attuned to the semi-colon courtesy of Noah Lukeman. In short, my captivity was an obstacle overcome with pluck, another trait popular with the masses.
Plucky, spontaneous, courageous, even heroic. I will plug Olivia back in now…Olivia? Our coverage of the Dan Conaway story must perforce return after a word about the NFL playoffs. Is the ESS feed working? I’ll try kicking it…
