Thumb Drives and Oven Clocks blog reviews "Generosity"

I just finished reading Generosity: An Enhancement myself, and I find the review posted yesterday on the Thumb Drives and Oven Clocks blog to be very close to the way I feel about this book. The reviewer, Darby M. Dixon III, makes an excellent point about Powers's use of the here-and-now in this book, and urges us all to get out and read it right away, because, as he points out, "[Generosity] is at this moment becoming a historical document (and it hasn't even been released yet)."

Powers Set for Miami Book Fair Appearance

Richard Powers will be the featured speaker at November's Miami Book Fair International, according to a report in the Miami Times Blog yesterday.

Case in point, the final "Evenings With..." this year is Richard Powers, a lesser known novelist who might otherwise get lumped into the weekend schedule, but whose talent, resume, and literary standing certainly qualify for a Friday night reading.

Powers will appear on Friday the 13th of November. I'm hoping they feel lucky down there in Miami!
