Next Tuesday, May 13, Swish is being released:

If you live in or around the New York area, I’d be honored if you joined me at 7:30 that evening for a reading at the Barnes & Noble on 6th Avenue and 8th Street (396 Avenue of the Americas).

I can’t tell you yet which part(s) of the book I’ll be reading, because I don’t know yet which part(s) of the book I’ll be reading, because I don’t know yet whether or not my father will be in the audience.

And I’m just not sure that he’s up for a prolonged discourse on the psychosocial dynamics of orgies.

P.S.: If there’s anybody who is both computer-savvy and familiar with the workings of Movable Type, would you mind e-mailing me? I’m trying to solve a problem the solution to which may very well be “don’t be a moron,” but I’d still love some help.

A short time later, I said, “Stupid, stupider, stupidest.”

E.S. points out that I now have titles for my next two books.

Our dog A. has long been the light of my life, but in the fall and winter she seemed to be getting lonely, so we got her a friend, E.

Actually, I believe E. is A.’s great-great niece.
