Sobre mimOut right now..an article in BG magazine on the sensual "Cook in Boots," Ravinder Bhogal, whose recipes are like love sonnets...she wears high heels in the kitchen.......

I write fiction, nonfiction, short plays, poetry, letters, postcards...Prefer pen and ink and have a manual typewriter but confess to writing my most recent books on a PowerBook. I've published three books and used to write a diary from time to time for the New York Observer. I went to art school in Baltimore, took photographs, painted and fell in love with Japanese woodcuts. Instead of writing classses, studied Ancient Egyptian Grammar and Biosocial Aspects of Human Sexuality at Johns Hopkins, French at Peabody. Drink tea steeped in vintage teapots— it fuels the fury. What I'm writing— The Adventures of the Red Panda, 12 chapters, for my nephew Rupert, a fictionalized memoir: Nick's Inferno: The 27 Notebooks of Nick Dante. Up on Guernica, a funny, sad story, The Last Geronimo...http://www.guernicamag.com/fiction/1100/...

I've stopped lending my books but sometimes...I give one away. (When you lend a book, you give it up.)

Bohemian Girl is about a girl who's held by Indians in payment for a debt of her father's. It's set in 1860-70s Nebraska and quite lively.
Here's a bit from the beginning:
BOHEMIAN GIRL

I am washing Duschecka all over. She is a tree branch that nobody knows how grew arms and legs just where you would. Well, most of one leg. She broke off from the only tree growing anywhere in this prairie, with a knot on one side that could’ve been a face. Bone-white when I found her, with all her bark gone to weather and storm, heat and hoppers and deer, she turned black, being in the dirt a lot like me.

I scrub her and then sink her to the river floor but I hold onto her leg the way Pa did mine, teaching me swimming until I almost drowned, then I use the sand from the river bottom on her to clean her back to white. At ten, girls have a want but not for a baby’s crying—a listening. I talk to her while I slip this deer hide over her shoulders and down under the place where I tie a Christ knot. I call it that for it has a cross twisted into it if you look close. But I am not a Christ person so much as the next person, you would be surprised. The Indian who keeps me gets along fine without the Christ god, so snug and bound with His rosaries and rules. The Indian believes instead in his own. This is all well and good but the danger in any of those gods is that in believing, people forget to do for themselves.
Thanks, Laren. Your book sounds interesting and it's always great to find others out there who are closet fans. .... and perhaps even better to find a like-minded spirit into Hrabal, that rough diamond of Bohemia!
Hi Laren -- Thanks!

"Me and Edith Head" is actually a short chapbook comic. You can get it directly from me (via sararyan.com/publications/edith) or read it online: http://www.comicspace.com/sararyan/comic...

Best -- Sara
Will do. Send me your mailing address (mail@christophertusa.com). Your book sounds interesting. Can I get it on Amazon?
Hi,

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Butcher Boy, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it.
Of course -- I grew up in Southern California. Wells was a genius and a great storyteller. I learned a lot from him. Plus his books are so much fun to read.
I love HG Wells. I spent some weeks this summer reading his great short novels.

Glad to make your neighborhood acquaintance.

Cheers!

David
