Congratulations on the publishing news! Wish I could make it to the Mary Gaitskill discussion. That story is a whopper!)

Thanks, Alyson! Yeah, I read this Gaitskill story every few years and am knocked out by it every time!

See you throw out a challenge like that and I now I have to read everything! Congrats on the new book, etc. Your description of Evenson's work really resonates: "Haunted from the inside out" is perfect. I recently read a book of his I was pretty sure I'd already read but couldn't be sure because so many of the stories' slippery details--did that really happen or did I imagine it?--didn't lock into my memory. Looks like I'll be reading Brain 4VR.

Thanks, bud! "Slippery details" is another great description of his stories! He's just so great.
