What fun I've had in Columbia, MO today. Thanks to everyone who turned up for the talk on such a blustery day, and a Friday at that. And then an evening with the rhet comp folks-- Rebecca, Donna, Jenny, and Jeff--at Rebecca and Zac's house with an awesome big sweet dog named Bodie who wandered from person to person swinging his tail. And Vered! I finally got to meet little Vered, and we passed around her monkey.
I think I've posted here before about how different parts of the Burke book "play" with different audiences, and today's talk on Burke and body biography got good vibes, I think. Before today I had not met a creative writer who has read Burke, and today I met nine or ten. Huh.
