>Bread Loaf

>Bread Loaf 2008 is going on right now, through the end of this week. I’m not there, of course, but I bet I’d be having fun if I were. And I’d be learning. For example, if I’d been there this morning, I would have attended Robert Boswell’s craft lecture “On Omniscience” and tonight I would have attended a reading by Randall Kenan (did he read the same thing he did at Sewanee, I wonder?) and Patricia Hampl. For more information about what’s going on up there in Vermont, check out the daily Crumb.
