Any new speaking engagements? How about in August or Sept 2010?
next book??
Would love to know if you may be coming to Georgia for a book signing? I would love to meet you. Snow Angels was an amazing book, I am currently reading Last Night At The Lobster and I am planning on buying Songs for the Missing today.
Is Mr. O’Nan planning any speaking engagements for the San Francisco Bay Area? Would love to attend.
It’s October 23, twenty years later, and it is pouring rain in San Francisco just like it was in Ithaca. Hello to you and Trudy from LC and JH
Will you be stopping in CT this year? Can’t wait to read ‘Emily, Alone’
Mr. O’Nan–I discovered your novel Emily, Alone and loved it. I’ll be seeking out your other titles soon.
However, I have a bone to pick with you, sir! In one scene in Emily, Alone, you refer to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as “mauling Shostakovich”–an image that, as one who appreciates classical music, I must seriously protest. For at least a couple of decades, the CSO has been regarded as one of the world’s great orchestras. To include a detail like that–even if you intended it as Emily’s opinion–is inauthentic.
Hello Stewart,
Your interview with Nancy Pearl here i Seattle was so great. I can’t wait to watch it again in order to take notes this time. I was fascinated with your writing process, how you approach your characters and the narrative. Wishing you could come to our monthly genre meeting where we discuss the four portals into a novel: story, character, setting and language. You are a master at all four. I enjoyed your reading at Seattle Public Library as well. It was wonderful to meet you. Looking forward to seeing you in P-burgh.
All the best,
Lillian Dabney
