An Incredible Book Journey: Time Was Soft There

Over the next six weeks, I will have the joy of visiting independent bookstores in 23 cities. Follow the trip and meet the many wonderful friends, book people and random characters I encounter along the way.

Another bar



Yes, there is a pattern to this trip, the constant lubrication of beverages. Constant celebration. This particular photo reflects our relief that the signing in Calgary came to a close. Aside from Dave, who you already know (very well if you read the book; he is an important and recurring character) you see here Bryn, a writer with Fast Forward magazine, and Alison, a friend of Daniel M.'s from Paris who used to attend KMZ events at the Paris squat and, oddly enough, once squatted my old apartment on rue Dauphine for week when it was under renovation. Strange world.
