Micah asked Robin Sloan:

I actually asked you this on Twitter, but maybe it won't get so bogged down on Goodreads. The Pescadero goat farm (that gets mentioned in passing... No folks, not a spoiler.) in Mr. Penumbra's, is that based on Harley Farms? p.s. I am in love with this book, and also that goat farm.

Robin Sloan That's the one! I'm so glad you recognized it. I love Pescadero!

Hi Robin, I wonder if you've had a chance to read the review ("glossary") I posted here at the end of April. If so, I hope I got most of it right?? We exchanged a couple of mails on the subject. Madeleine

If I walked into your house would I see books neatly shelved or scattered all over your house? Are you a bibliomaniac?

Bonny asked Robin Sloan:

Will you be expanding more on Ajax Penumbra's (or possibly Clay Jannon's) story? Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore is one of my all-time favorite books, and I love how you gave us more of his story in Ajax Penumbra 1969. The only problem is that you seem to have made Mr. Penumbra far too interesting, and now I want even more!
