So apparently some famous writer was disgraced this week and a venerable literary organization asked me to fill in for him at a dinner to raise money for imperiled writers around the world.
You won’t believe what ensued.
I get there, and the host introduces me to the guests, accurately observing that several of them are named Bob. (Plus one Bill.)
It’s not an exciting crew, but it’s a good cause, and I feel like I’m enlivening people’s retirements.
It’s in a place called the Players Club. Not as in playas. As in actors. It was founded by John Wilkes Booth’s brother, which should have been a sign of the ambush that loomed.
*cliock the link for the rest*
