And no first-time novelists are afforded promotion tours anymore.<br /><br />As the author of a memoir, I can appreciate how difficult it is to toil for donkey's years on a book, have it be critically well-received, and then have it contend with all the other pop culture flotsam for its own tiny place in the sun. It's tough out there in the book stacks, kids!<br /><br />Mind you, I've not read Burr's book myself. Too much other flotsam clamoring for my attention!Katie Puckrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12816871787892998256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125354955146250762.post-16274066317572550802009-11-17T10:02:37.359-07:002009-11-17T10:02:37.359-07:00is that luca turin on the milk carton? love the im...is that luca turin on the milk carton? love the image.<br /><br />minette/scentsignalsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125354955146250762.post-67489000075951994202009-11-14T07:16:34.098-07:002009-11-14T07:16:34.098-07:00I'm sure Chandler has his reasons.
