"And so, Dad, I hadn’t seen you," Tom Junod wrote in IN THE DAYS OF MY YOUTH I WAS TOLD WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MAN, words he wrote and lived about his father that I lived about mine, just differently. Reading (Cormac McCarthy, for me) and writing helped us see. Talking helps, too - and tomorrow Tom and I will reach the stage with Wright Thompson and do that thing the best we can at the Mississippi Book Festival. 10:45 AM 9/26, Jackson, State Capitol 113. See you there.

I can’t wait for this talk, Beowulf. Having Cormac’s shade sitting with us will kick it ip to a new level.
