Jim Gladstone, neighbor, friend, UCPride member, and local impresario (the Inquirer said so) has just had his first novel published and it is finally in stores. The book is called The Big Book of Misunderstanding. I'm not going to risk miscategorizing it but I really enjoyed early excerpts of it. I believe its safe to say it's still about a family, one of whose members is a young gay man. You may have already read/heard Jim's short fiction, critiques, essays, interviews and even product packaging in local and national media of all sorts. To find out more about Jim (he's taken) or The Big Book of Misunderstanding visit http://www.misunderstanding.net. To try before you buy, get an autograph from the literary world's next IT boy, to get answers to some of life's peskier questions or to get the behind the scenes story of the blue M&M you'll want to attend one of Jim's local readings. He'll be at Giovanni's Room on Sunday, Feb 24th at 5:30, and at the Main Branch of the Free Library in the Montgomery Auditorium on Tues, Feb 26th at 7:00. There will also be other events in Philadelphia and around the country. Don't forget there's only 338 days until Christmas. Isn't there a reader on your gift list?? -Ricky Begin forwarded message: > From: Jim Gladstone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Mon Jan 21, 2002 12:20:30 PM US/Eastern > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: And so, we begin... > > Dear Friends and Family, > > Well, THE BIG BOOK OF MISUNDERSTANDING is finally starting to arrive in > stores (I've been receiving e-mails from folks who've actually bought > it -- Wow!). > > If you can't find it, ask your store to order one for you.
