I wasn't at BEA. Like David Sax I'm a Canuck and was a little out of range. But I'm intrigued by Master of Shadows. It would have made my art history lectures back in the day way more interesting.

My US publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, had their lunches during the conference catered by the 2nd Ave Deli. They did so well, they needed to restock their table, because editors, writers, and sellers were going crazy over the pastrami. My friend Mark Lamster was there, and he got a copy of the book. He put it as the top book to read this year!

There was a mile-long line to get an ARC of Jonathan Lethem's Chronic City, which is a Doubleday book, I believe. I would've waited in line for Rubens over Chase Insteadman any day of the week! Is this politics or money, if you can even separate the two? Mark,
