The world is a handkerchief, as they say in Mexico. About 500 years ago,
Katherine Min and I spent some weeks at the
New York State Sumer Writers Institute at Skidmore College. Curiously, we had the same blue batik dress. I was just starting to write, or, I should say, finish, my own
my own short stories, and Katherine, with her numerous litmag publications was an enormous inspiration to me-- her talent and her persistence were, and are, extraordinary. I am so delighted that she will be reading from her new novel,
Secondhand World, (Alfred Knopf), at the Bethesda MD
Writers Center, 4508 Walsh Street, Bethesda, MD, Sunday December 3rd at 2 p.m. Click
