Etcetera

»  Avoidance, the second novel of my BC colleague and friend Michael Lowenthal, has just been published by Graywolf. Read an excerpt (pdf), browse Michael's rave reviews, or order a copy of your very own from Powell's Books.

»  Looking for a quiet place to write? Consider The Writers' Room of Boston. I have been a member of the Writers' Room since 1998, and recently joined the Board of Directors. Quiet, safe, affordable space for serious writers. Won't you consider making a donation or becoming a member?

»   Another small literary organization doing outstanding work is The Asian American Writers' Workshop in New York City. The folks at AAWW host literary readings, publish anthologies (such as Take Out, which includes an excerpt from my novel), and even features an Asian American bookseller.
