Of letters and knots

My stomach is in knots. I use the literary agency as a P.O. Box and I got an email yesterday evening from my ex co-workers to let me know that I got a letter from the Immigration.

Hopefully, they agreed to give me a new visa...

Attended Amy Hempel's reading yesterday and she is the most charming person. Got her new book signed. I asked her if her publisher talks about reprinting AT THE GATES OF ANIMAL KINGDOM, and she said that they plan to republish it next year in a book that would gather together all of her short stories collections published so far.
