Just search for "Highway 282," "Benko," "Hennen," or "roundabout" to see some of the talks that are going on.

A writer writing about writers writingNovember 27, 2006 - 9:15pm — Mathias BadenYesterday, I finished reading "Old School" by Tobias Wolff. I had picked it up on a whim one day while I was browsing one of my favorite bookstores, Micawbers Books in the St. Anthony neighborhood of St. Paul. When I took it to the register, the cashier said there was one of these books on the clearance shelf. It cost $3.98 -- what a deal! |
