When is the book hitting the streets Joe?
ReplyDeleteHi Ralph. The official release date is Feb 1, 2014 but the book is already available through Amazon. Even when it's officially released, it won't be in your local bookstore unless some large publisher decides to buy it -- which could happen.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I read "Junior Electrician" last night. A stunning piece. It belongs in Best American Essays or some other annual anthology, like Best American Nonrequired Reading. Would like to read more of the book faster, but problem is individual pieces, like this one, make my cranium vibrate so much I can't focus on more than one at a time. Great stuff, man. Tom McGohey
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom!
