Pleased to see my latest essay in Arizona Quarterly is now available online. I've been eager to hear how my Poe and C19 friends are going to respond to this reading of "William Wilson." If you're interested to read but don't have access to AZQ through a library, let me know, and I can send a copy.

What a thrill to get to introduce Jennifer Egan at Ohio University’s Literary Festival tonight. She gave an amazing talk about her writing process, and she signed my copy of The Candy House.

It was wonderful to see one of my favorite David Lynch films, Wild at Heart, in the theater tonight on this snowy evening. As the Good Witch says, “Don’t turn away from love.”

I got to watch Blue Velvet last night in a sold-out theatre. Most of the audience were college-aged students. It was such a thrill to hear them laugh or gasp (sometimes at the same time) to a film I first fell in love with at their age. David Lynch forever!

It seems like serendipity that the (already planned) David Lynch retrospective film series at our local cinema started this week when so many fans want to mourn his passing and celebrate his work. The series started with The Elephant Man tonight.
