I’ve expressed my enthusiasm for Joshua Henkin “before”:http://emdashes.com/2007/11/the-elegant-joshua-henkin.php. It’s a year later and I’m no closer to reading one his novels, but—he’s still on my list! He’ll be speaking at “McNally Jackson Books”:http://mcnallyjackson.com/, located at 52 Prince Street, on Tuesday, November 18, at 7pm (7pm being the designated author appearance hour in NYC). If he’s half as engaging and insightful as he is on “_The Elegant Variation_”:http://marksarvas.blogs.com/elegvar/, it’ll be memorable. (Here’s a “stretch of recent posts”:http://marksarvas.blogs.com/elegvar/2008/09/page/4/ I hadn’t even seen yet.) So run, walk, perambulate, etc.
