Ending of an Era, A Sad Realization

by: Soapie

Mon Oct 26, 2009 at 07:18:22 AM EDT

I suppose one might say I've been living under a rock.  Upon reflection, I can even agree with the accusation.  In my defense, however, .... no, actually, there is no defending it.  I have no real reason, beyond being caught up in the smaller realities occurring within the scope of my own world.  Until today.

Listening to the radio this morning, I caught the news and was deeply saddened.  As soon as I got home, I came straight to my computer to verify, hoping beyond hope I had misunderstood.  I had not.

Michigan Author Homecoming

by: janeenr

Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 09:53:45 AM EDT

There will be a magical night in July thanks to the Michigan Humanities Council. Three wonderful Michigan authors will return to MSU: Jim Harrison, Richard Ford and Thomas McGuane.
The event will be Thursday, July 10th at 7:30 at the Passant Theatre in the Wharton Center. Best of all it's free. You can get details here.
It is the finale for the Great Michigan Read program. And what a send off. Harrison, who rarely does public events, has captured the magic, wild, crazy UP like no other author. His poetry is delicious. His popular novels include Dalva, Legends of the Fall and Wolf.
Richard Ford is best known as the author of Independence Day and McGuane wrote the screenplay for Missouri Breaks.
