(Hoeller's, probably). What a terrific tale of an encounter with greatness (I once introduced myself to Jacques Derrida, simply because he was inexplicably sitting completely alone at a table in a bookstore where he'd shown up to sign books, but I could say nothing to him other than hello).

It is possible, for example, that the crank - an older woman with a European accent - trapped <i>me</i> at the cheese&cracker table, and that it was only when I escaped that I discovered that the guest of honor had been abandoned.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-12185234896124740882012-04-30T17:19:34.231-05:002012-04-30T17:19:34.231-05:00You've clearly been reading too much Vila-Mata...You've clearly been reading too much Vila-Matas, with your made-up stories about meeting Sebald.obookihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03885121629202810216noreply@blogger.com
