I'm studying up on the publisher's romance line for my interview. Whee!

Not going to Paris, though, which is a bummer.

The Macarthur Grants were announced. Karen Russell was announced as a recipient. huh? Also someone at Steppenwolf.

I just went through the whole list, and realized I was afraid I would see someone I know! What is wrong with me.
