PHONE MESSAGES, 2007
File — Box: 133
Scope and Contents
211 pages. I gave a few talks in Taos this year, and did one outside gig, interviewing Martín Espada for the Lannan Foundation on stage in Santa Fe. Otherwise, I stayed quiet and stayed at home. A new novel, The Empanada Brotherhood, was published by Chronicle Books. Otherwise, I kept hiking, plodding along on my Spoon Mountain novel that ultimately segued into a short-story published by Orion Magazine.
There are many pages of phone messages, but, again, they're mostly from a small band of longtime friends. Since I didn't have e-mail (and still don't in 2011), there were few people from the "outside world" getting in touch with me.
