Heather asked Brian Michels:

Hi Brian, what are you working on now? Have you read Ishigura's Klara and the Sun? I'm starting it after seeing him in conversation at NYPL. Hope all is well...Heather

Brian Michels Hello Heather, how ya doing? All good on my home front. Now that the Teacher's Union got their benefit demands and schools are reopening close to normal, I will have some spare time. Ishigura's Klara and the Sun sounds like a good read. A top notch writer. I really enjoyed The Remains Of The Day. I will still be pressed for time though between work on on my new novel and new school training for a job. But the novel I'm working on might be shelved soon, so who knows. Unlike other writers that can pop a book out every six months, I need a lot of time. Plus, I have to consider that my stories don't satisfy the establishment's line of propaganda. That means the new book might face a Cancel Culture attack, like my last book was hammered with. It also means mainstream publishers won't consider it, no matter how good the story and writing is. A fair payment would have to be earned with a serious book marketing effort, which I suck at. Oh, life is complicated. We all know it. Anyway, I will check out Klara and the Sun.
Brian
