First, thank you all so much for your kind wishes and prayers on behalf of our dear dog, Guin - she’s doing much better, thank goodness. We’re taking her in for some further tests this week but meanwhile she’s resting comfortably and being positively lavished with affection and adoration.

Friday night I had the privilege of appearing at an event in Los Angeles, sponsored by Writers Bloc in honor of The New Yorker’s 100th Anniversary and the publication of this amazing anthology. We heard lovely readings of stories by Bernard Malamud (read by Richard Kind), Grace Paley (read by Kerry O’Malley), and Tobias Wolff (read by Jon Cryer) and, of course, this fired me up all over again about the beauty and mystery of this form we love.
