Coming in April 2012!
The Dropper is a haunting soliloquy to the harsh and sometimes brutal world our forebears left behind in pursuit of a dream called America. It is also an ode to the often heartrending decisions they were forced to make in leaving some family members—and some part of themselves—behind. And finally, as young Shoe Horn, the novel’s protagonist, grapples blindly with sex until arriving at the maturity to recognize love, it’s also a tender coming-of-age story.

Hello everyone,
Hope you had a Happy Easter/Passover--we had a quiet one upstate where the weather was cool but clear and sunny! So we got to do some of our favorite hikes--Poet's Walk, Olana, Ram'sHorn Wildlife Sanctuary (where we saw a small blue heron picking his way across a stream). Kate has started gardening and I am her helper/slave. We are loving our little house and looking forward to time on the screened in porch.
We saw two excellent productions last week--courtesy of our friend, Terry Johnson, we were invited to the Opening of End Of The Rainbow that he directed. It is a terrific show with a knockout performance by Tracie Bennett as Judy Garland--party at the Plaza to follow was great! Then we went to see Clybourne Park a new play by Bruce Norris which was absolutely amazing---tremendous writing and brilliant acting by a terrific ensemble of actors--all in all an evening of theatre you shouldn't miss!
We've had an early spring this year and hoping it doesn't bode an early (and long) summer. The Dropper is out this month --which is very exciting. Launching it in my old stomping grounds, Rhode Island the weekend of the 21st--where I have 3 book events. Then Kate and I head to St. John to celebrate my 65th (oh no!) Birthday by swimming with the turtles--one of my favorite pastimes.
Enjoy your spring
Ron

Elizabeth P. Glixman interviews...
Ron McLarty, author of The Dropper
In order to play a variety of roles, a character actor develops a little spot in the corner of the brain where he stores those primal observations, the idiosyncrasies of everyday people. So I subconsciously found myself studying folks everywhere I went and filing the information in my big head.
