Atlanta

The Georgia Center for the Book played host to OBJECTS OF OUR AFFECTION on a cool April night, and we got into a great discussion about how to save the memories/stories/family that are IN the furniture, without having to actually keep all of Aunt Nelly’s — or in the case of OBJECTS, great-grandma Nelly’s — tschotschkes.

Many thanks to Joe Davich and the Center for their hospitality. It’s a great spot!

And even more thanks must go to hosts extraordinaire Esther and Jim, and their scintillating cadre of friends. We had a rollicking evening at their Atlanta home, with a sumptuous buffet and a reading — one of my first at that point, and I really have to thank all of the guests that evening for their generous listening and many good comments. Thanks, y’all!
