Ah so.

Hey, Ms. Mod - will The Man travel to NYC for the awards event?

Ah so.

Hey, Ms. Mod - will The Man travel to NYC for the awards event?

Not likely. He hasn't done it in the past. The only awards ceremony I remember his actually attending because it was a big deal for him was the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

That's a biggie and I wouldn't have missed it, either.

I hope he snags the Edgar regardless of presence/non-presence.

 

[Sigmund]

Good luck!

(Enjoyed the book and look forward to the next two installments.)
