My favorite living author is stuck in Scotland. The news came in an email today (I'm a member of his fan club). Bad, bad volcano! The bad news
Not that I would have been able to attend any of the events. I just don't like the idea of the powers of good cheer being thwarted in any way. It's a bad sign.
Not long ago I read and enjoyed his latest novel, something quite different from the previous works, La's Orchestra Saves the World. I heartily recommend it to you.

I find it amusing how all the reporters refer to the volcano as "that volcano in Iceland" due to it's utterly unpronounceable name.
Hey, what's so hard about "Aya-fyatla-jo-kutl"?
"The New York Times gives the following pronounciation: EY-ya-fyat-lah-YOH-kuht. They also add that if you say it soft it kind of sounds like Hey, ya fergot La Yogurt."
