BookCourt Reading

Hi David:

I enjoyed your reading at BookCourt very much last night. As I was listening I was reminded of Lorrie Moore's stories. You are the only other person I know of to use the second person point-of-view successfully. We expect the second person pov to distance us from the action, but you were able to use it to make us feel closer to your character.

I read on your website the very short description of your work in progress. It sounds ambitious and complicated. I'll be looking forward to reading it.
