Smuggled notes from BookExpo America
Today, the "largest book publishing event in the U.S.," BookExpo America, throws open its doors at the Javits Center in NYC.
I won't be there today because tonight, I will sit in a sweltering, airless auditorium to see my daughters' dance recital. (Think of it as two minutes of bless -- watching my kids' turns on stage, wrapped with two hours of misery -- watching everyone else's kids on stage.)
But first thing tomorrow morning, at the wee hour of 5:00, I will hit the road and brave the long, dark nothing-good-on-the-radio gully known as Connecticut ("The Horizontal New Jersey") for the BookExpo in New York.
From the Expo, I will post regular blog contributions from the floor: what's there, who's where. Please look for my posts Saturday and Sunday.
Write me if you intend to be there yourself and would like to say hello.
