PHONE MESSAGES, 2002
File — Box: 133
Scope and Contents
162 pages. Mostly during this year I climbed mountains in the Wheeler Peak Wilderness. I kept working on books, most notably my Midlist Writer botched effort, and another misguided novel called Toby's Aleph (then it became On Top of Spoon Mountain), and a small novel, The Empanada Brotherhood. I traveled out to give talks in Colorado Springs, Telluride, the Raices del Rio Abajo fiesta in Belen, the Rocky Mountain Book Festival in Denver, and at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. But mostly I just wanted to avoid that stuff and climb in the mountains. A retreat from civilization.
The small band of usual suspects left me phone messages, they've been identified. Here's a list of the newcomers' names (and a few oldies):
