Sunday night brought another night of Vermin — the Vermin on the Mount reading series at Chinatown’s Mountain Bar. Poet Dan Kaplan, political chronicler Josh Bearman, and novelist Janet Fitch read. Guess who’s in the picture? Yeah, Janet Fitch, not so hard.
Fitch read from her new novel “Paint it Black”; she is also the author of “White Oleander,” which was an Oprah pick and a movie, too.
OK, this is not much of a report. The Mountain Bar was beautiful, as always. Host Jim Ruland was the most as always, the audience was appreciative as always, the company of Mark Sarvas and David Francis was more charming than I deserved.
I did not take notes. The photo will have to do.
