Thanks! And, Allen, I absolutely agree with you that there’s room for more blogs focused on regional literature, not just as “good canary-in-the-coal-mine indicators of a regional book’s looming success or failure,” but as a constant reminder that there’s more to both the literary and publishing worlds (which overlap, but are not equivalent) than what happens or is set in Manhattan. Not that I’m complaining about my adopted New York City home—just that I, too, like to hear about what’s going on in other parts of the bookish world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
