Maillard Alert!

Maillard Alert!

Last night, John and I went to see Keith Maillard read from his now complete quartet, Difficulty at the Beginning. There's something so admirable about a writer who has the tenacity to go back and rewrite earlier published work.

Keith's reading was vivid, operatic, and spell-binding, and only reinforced that goddamn, you people need to go out and buy this guy's books right now! Kevin Patterson, the Poison to Keith's Guns n' Roses, also rocked the crowd.

Props to the Robson Square Reading Series. They'z the shizzle.
