The forthcoming Vintage Classics editions of Roberto Bolaño's books are very handsome things:

Siri and Stomp like to plop down and watch me being busy cleaning and bustling about. Pretty sure I'm often some sort of entertaining human aquarium exhibit for these cutest black vulture kids (and our other birds), who seem to enjoy observing me as much as I do them.

Saga Press is removing a Neil Gaiman quote from digital publicity about Blackheart Man, my forthcoming novel. But the 1st run books that have it on the dust jacket were printed months ago & have been shipped. It won't be on subsequent printings. /more

Dentist: "Oh, we don't take bone from you for an implant. We take it from cadavers." Me: "Do I get to know their names and choose one?" Dentist: "Um, no."

Jaysus but Canada's finishing against Argentina in Copa America is... dreadful.
