Hi from Montana, where Joey and I, joined by Jon tomorrow, are testing our mettle and throwing down a new piece of literary debauchery and trying not to be swallowed by the size of the skies.

If you’re in parts of the world accessible from Missoula, please come and see us on Saturday, September 24, at the Festival’s Book Fair, where we think we may be the only East Coast book monger represented. And while we don’t have a formal reading on the roster, we don’t exactly intend on being stopped by this. We’re not arriving with friends in Missoula, but we may well be leaving with a few.

Meantime, please help yourself to a peek at Jon Frankel’s latest, The Man Who Can’t Die, or read from The Man Himself how the book found its way to the tit’s whiskey.
