>Jim Webb for Senate–another diversion, quasi-literary

>
I’m not sure I would have accomplished much today anyway, but the afternoon was spent at a fundraiser for Jim Webb. It was a terrific event, crowded, with lots of donated food and drink, and Webb’s appearance (he arrived early, which in my brief political experience is unheard of) was great and as he spoke about his themes and issues he became as passionate and animated as I’ve seen him. Considering where we are–a deep red pocket in a purple state–it was a huge success.

Oh, yeah. The reason this is a quasi-literary diversion is because Webb has published several successful novels, as I’ve noted elsewhere on this blog.

About the author

I am the author of three novels--THE LAST BIRD OF PARADISE, OLIVER'S TRAVELS, and THE SHAMAN OF TURTLE VALLEY--and three story collections--IN AN UNCHARTED COUNTRY, HOUSE OF THE ANCIENTS AND OTHER STORIES, and WHAT THE ZHANG BOYS KNOW, winner of the Library of Virginia Literary Award for Fiction. I am also the co-founder and former editor of Prime Number Magazine and the editor of the award-winning anthology series EVERYWHERE STORIES: SHORT FICTION FROM A SMALL PLANET.

  1. >PF: this is a typical Replifascist lie. Allen is the proven racist. As for Webb’s books, I guess you never heard of fiction?
