My turn on Joe Milford’s internet radio show – all 90 minutes of it – can be streamed or downloaded from the website today. Just click on the logo in the note below. The reading / chat was fun to do and I’ve gotten very positive emails about it from three different continents over the past 18 hours. I read from the PDF of my original manuscript of The Alphabet. Which is to say that I was staring into a screen, talking on the phone. It’s an interesting way to do an event.
