Snarky Tofu Returns
The book is done...the book is done...the book is done.
I feel like I could fill this entire post with this sentence like Jack Nicholson in The Shining and it still wouldn't feel real to me, but yeah, Formosa Moon is now in the printing process, and barring some back and forth between Stephanie, I and our various editors and the publisher at Things Asian Press, at this point its just a matter of waiting for it to be printed. So for this and a few other reasons, I've taken back the name Snarky Tofu for the blog, with things related to Formosa Moon being moved off to the website @ http://josambro.com/books/formosa_moon/. More news on that when it's more newsworthy.
In any event, it's been a long and eventful 2017. On January first, I returned to Taiwan with my partner, Stephanie Huffman (AKA Twilight Kallisti) to begin work on a the aforementioned title for Things Asian Press, Formosa Moon. Research for the book took us around Taiwan several times, and led to (among other things) Stephanie's acceptance into a Master's Program at Taiwan's National Chengchi University and my landing a full time job as Chief Content Strategist with a company here in Taiwan called MyTaiwanTour, where among other things I'm learning tons about SEO, google analytics and other techniques that make the Ghost of Henry Miller (who still lives in my head) wince every time I think about employing them in my personal work.
Oh, and the world is on the precipice of absolute bat-shit madness, with every manner of unpleasant fuckery that I've spent the majority of my political writing railing against now coming into full flower in America, with a side order of shit-storm forming ceaselessly everywhere else.
But let's save that for the next post, shall we? Stephanie and I are heading out to socialize with various artists and filmmakers in Taipei. No reason to anger up the blood. In any event, I'm all out of nicotine gum.
Regular posts to follow, I promise.
