I didn't chat with him much - I was frazzled from a long walk
under a
hot sun to get there, and there was a line-up - but I told
him I'd
read all three of his books and while I really liked the
first two, I
didn't think too much of the second. He said he'd heard that
from
readers. I said I thought it was too schticky. He handed me
the book
and said, "Welcome back to hell."
A few minutes later I went back and scribbled the RARA-AVIS
URL on the
back of my card and gave it to him, and said he had a number
of fans
on the list. He didn't seem to know exactly what it meant,
but maybe
he'll turn up.
