The only bad thing about putting together a weekly list of book events for Jacket Copy is that I know what it is I’m missing. Like Jim Shepard was at the Hammer tonight. Sure, I’ve got deadlines, responsibilites, ongoing sleep deficit. All good reasons for staying home and working.
But I missed Jim Shepard.
Darn.
You missed a good reading. Jim was in fine form, in spite of a cold, and there were two rows of undergrads hanging on his every word.
