Met Alex Chee for lunch at Lupa Osteria in the Village. He was dressed perfectly, and he is charming, and it was so nice. Topics discussed: roses, travel, grand hotels, adaptations. If you need summer reading, and you do, check out his Edinburgh. Now I am dashing out the door to Barnes & Noble in Tribeca, nominally in the neighborhood, to see Timothy Schaffert, the charismatic man responsible for my trips to Nebraska –– I'll be there in October to launch Terese Svoboda's Bohemian Girl with a big party at the Lit Fest –– read from his lauded new novel, The Coffins of Little Hope.
