Meeting Rita Mae Brown, Inside a book tour

by Jon Katz
Meeting Rita Mae Brown at NPR

Met Rita Mae Brown at WAMC in Washington today, we both shared different segments of a show on animals.  We are meeting again tonight at Border’s, Bailey’s Crossroads, Va., at 7:30  p.m. Prepping time. Reading her book going over “Rose” jotting down some notes in the Ipad about the themes of the book, an the process of writing about it. Taking a short nap, resting my weakening voice.

Frieda’s tick is off, I am told. Many more are around.

Tomorrow, heading home on the train. Then we pick it up again on Sunday. Getting a sense of the themes in the book. Had a wonderful hour long interview on the Canadian Broadcast Corporation network. You rarely get that much time  in the U.S. to talk about a book with somebody who read it. Very nice. We talked about how dogs think, and how a dog like Rose might evolve over time, the thread of the novel.

Got an hour to relax, getting picked up to go to Va.
