Greetings from New York City--
April 15th I began recording Art In America--even after all the editing, copy-editing, reading and re-reading it was a pleasure to get in front of a microphone and tell the story out loud.
Kate and I had a wonderful time at the Book and Author Dinner in Roanoke, VA April 11th. It was presented by the Roanoke Valley Academy of Medicine Alliance Foundation and was attended by about seven hundred to hear Cokie Roberts, Alyson Hagy and little Ronnie McLarty speak about the writing of our books. It was all made the merrier by some terrific trout fishing we got to enjoy on Smith Creek (assisted by our guide, Shane). Kate caught the two biggest rainbows (and released them) but I wasn't really trying. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it).
Speaking of Kate, she's been cast in Uncle Vanya at the Bard Summerscape Festival. It will be performed at the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts which was designed by Frank Gehry. She is very excited about this project as it stars Peter Dinklage as Uncle Vanya and we were both big fans of his memorable starring role in The Station Agent. More info at http://fishercenter.bard.edu. While we're on the subject of acting, yours truly just did a turn on Law & Order. I'm not sure how good anyone else was but first reports on my performance rank it up there with Sir Laurence Olivier and Johnny Depp.
On June 16th, the Abingdon Theatre Company in NYC is presenting a reading of my play, Two Deer & Girl. And, of course I 'm very pleased and excited to hear actors say out loud what I've been hearing n my head.
On a sad note, Kate's friend, the artist Eugenia Butler passed away from a brain hemorrhage in California. At 61, she left us too soon.
In her obit in the LA TImes, David Rodes, director emeritus of the UCLA Grunwald Center fro the Graphic Arts pretty succinctly sums up her career, “Eugenia always was an explorer . . . . she was not only a visual artist, but she was interested in the intersection of visual arts and spoken ideas.”
My book tour for Art In America begins in July.
July 9th--Barnes & Noble/Tribeca/NYC
July 15th--Tattered Cover/Denver, CO
July 16th--Vroman's--Pasadena, CA

The new thing is the ‘virtual tour’--whatever that is. Here's my VIking/Penguin publicist's e-mail for more info: holly.watson@us.penguingroup.com
Bye for now
Ron
