New JKT Biography

Yesterday sucked pretty mightily, so I was especially happy when today's mail brought a copy of the new John Kennedy Toole biography, The Butterfly in The Typewriter , from a kind reader who must have intuited that I'd been coveting it. (Jules, this is not your official thank-you -- I am sending you a scenic picture postcard!) I'd wanted to go to one of author Cory MacLauchlin's local signings this week, but was embarrassed to do so because I knew I couldn't afford a copy of the book at the moment. I've met Cory a couple of times and he seems a likely young man, so I have high hopes for it.

Once again, my readers rule. Y'all got my back.
