On Tuesday, July 24, I'll be enjoying the huge honor of speaking at the Mark Twain House and Museum in Hartford, Connecticut.
The event is part of a conference sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and it's open to the public. It begins at 7:00, and includes a talk, a reading, a Q&A, and a booksigning.
I can hardly begin to express my delight and gratitude over Finn's being embraced by the keepers of Twain's legacy. Come to that, I can hardly express the eagerness with which I look forward to visiting the Twain House again. It's a marvelous place, full of history and personality and inspiration.

I read and enjoyed Finn. This may sound stupid, but I really see a Rob Zombie film in it. Zombie looks just like my mental picture of Finn. Rob has made some decent horror genre films, but could be ready for something edgy, but more serious.
Anyway, good book.
Sincerely,
Joe.
