“Shambling Towards Hiroshima” Book Tour

Feb 13, 2009 00:12

February began auspiciously for people with nothing better to do with their time than read James Morrow’s fiction.

My stand-alone novella Shambling Towards Hiroshima was released on the first of the month, and the Perennial trade paperback edition of The Philosopher’s Apprentice appeared a few days later.

Set in 1945, Shambling Towards Hiroshima is ( Read more... )

My kingdom for an appearance near Baltimore! Not to say that I won't drive the hundred miles but having my favorite writer to come to my favorite city would be amazing.

Alas, no Baltimore stop on the Gorgantis tour. Maybe next time. You sound like one of my favorite readers.

LA? anonymous February 27 2009, 00:44:08 UTC

Any chance in the future that you would deign to visit L.A.? A mid-week drive to SF is unfortunately not in the cards for me.

We were hoping to include L.A. on the tour, since much of "Shambling Towards Hiroshima takes place there -- in 1945, that is. But, alas, we couldn't work out the logistics.

Kudos for "Shambling" squigkato March 26 2009, 17:06:21 UTC

Dear Mr. Morrow:

Had the privilige to meet you at your book launch party at Boskone, in Boston last month, at which you kindly autographed a complementary copy.

Anyway, just put down "Shambling". Enjoyed it immensely. A nice intro to your works for this new fan. Thanks.

What? You'd come to the Pacific NW and NOT stop at Powell's? squigkato March 31 2009, 20:25:54 UTC

Fie on you sir, fie.

But seriously, I started Phil's App this morning. I won't go back to count the number of times I misread "postrational" as "prostrational." Even after realizing I had it wrong, which occurred around p. 14 I think, my first (in)correction was "prostational."

Not to kibbitz but I like both my readings better.

Cheers from a former Centre Countian!

Hello, why do you not update your blog any longer? It's very sad. Please write here again.

Blogger's Block james_morrow November 23 2009, 17:30:51 UTC

Thanks for the nudge, Anonymous. I keep trying get over my blogger's block -- though it's certainly more benign than writer's block. Beginning this week, I think I'll start using "The Passionate Rationalist" to test out ideas for my novel-in-progress, "Galapagos Regained."
