Hello Polly, I am writing from St.Paul and would like a heads-up if you are doing any public appearances here in the Twin Cities. My book club is sort of defunct, but I bet I can organize something around a personal appearance. I am a volunteer at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and they are often open to eclectic speakers if their topics relate to art. My area is our Asian collection, maybe we could arrange something related to that. I met John Kunst once and would like to meet you too! Enjoyed the book. -Harley Gee
