Things I Don't Mind The World Knowing

Spoiler alert: I'm thinking my next book will be about...
Epistemological concerns of the inanimate.
Everyone needs to know about these authors and artists...
• Louis Wayne, English artist best known for his drawings, which consistently featured anthropomorphised large-eyed cats and kittens
• Joseph Cornell, American artist/sculptor and pioneer of assemblage
• Tillie Olson, an American writer, associated with the political turmoil of 1930s and the first generation of American feminists
This book is addictive. Read it. (At your own risk.)
• "Congratulations, Randal, On Your Successful Date" by Michael Kadel, my author husband, www.lulu.com/kadel.
