Owen, It’s Pete at buffalobooks in MI. Hope Evanston’s treating you well. Scotland Yard Gospel Choir played in Three Oaks on Saturday, and I made sure that they received a copy of “The Book….” There may only by so much life insurance built into each book, and I figured they’d be followers. Today a Chicago transplant from Texas bought a copy of “How Best…” based solely on the facts that you were from Texas and you had to have a sense of humor because you let the jacket blurb remain unedited that mentioned your sexy femininity. Chicago people appreciate that loyalty: (Hey Joe, there’s that asshole Bob across the street. Don’t forget, Jim. He’s OUR asshole.) Take care.

I met you at Chad Darbyshire’s about a year ago when I recited some of my Office Poetry for the group. I bought How Best To Avoid Dying at BookPeople about two weeks ago and I have almost finished it. My favorite stories so far are The Beginning of All Things and Lazarus Dying. I regret deeply that I did not get the opportunity to attend your book signing at BookPeople because this book is a treasure to me. However, I did get one of the signed copies. I am amazed at your insight into the human psyche and the blending of human emotions and characteristics that stir up disturbing and heartwarming sensations almost simoltaneously. I have said to myself several times, “I don’t know how I feel about that” and I love that state. It forces me to ask new questions and for someone that questions incessantly, it is fodder for the cow. It is a landmark accomplishment and should be recognized as a great contribution to literature. I am an avid reader and am about 3/4 of the way through The Idiot. To me, How Best to avoid dying stirs up some of the same feelings I got when I read Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground for the first time. As a writer myself I admire your keen insight into human nature and the affront and compliments to Christianity. It is such a strange combination. What a ride along the hidden paths of the mind and soul. Enjoying every story…
