The Writer's Life 4/2

I am fascinated by the irony that occurs in life. I, a pro-capitalism conservative, helped edit my friend Bob Rubenstein's The White Bridge, which is in large part an anti-capitalist screed. Now he has given a glowing review to my third novel, Killing, which is at the opposite end of the spectrum. Here is a link to the review: http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A1VVI4UPCSI0W4/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp

Food for thought from a discussion between conservatives Ann Coulter and Mike Gallagher this morning, which I believe they heard elsewhere: If the man who shot Trayvon Martin - Zimmerman - is a white Hispanic, does that mean President Obama is a white Afro-American?

The floating bookshop battled a stiff northeast wind today. I thank Herbie and Mr. Almost for their purchases, and all the nice folks who voiced concern for my welfare. I spent the abbreviated session standing behind the corner of the apartment building where I usually set up, so it wasn't as bad as all that.

I mailed another copy of Killing to my niece in Denver. Hopefully, Newman won't get his mitts on this one.
