So! As I said on Friday, I'm going away for a week to read books in the Laurentian mountains. If all goes well, we'll also be swinging through Shawinigan to check out Mr Chretien's new gallery. The reading list includes Richler, Joyce, Saramago, Jansson, Carey, Burgess and Haddon. Wish me luck.
Said the Gramophone will be left in very capable hands. That is, I've arranged things so that posts should automatically be made August 23-27, and again on Monday the 30th, so I can have a day to get back in the saddle. It's remotely possible that something will go wrong with the pre-posting script. In that case, never fear, all of these guestposts will appear the week after.
On Monday, Thursday and Friday, there will be two posts.
The guest-posters for Said the Gramophome are, in random order: Dan Beirne, Monica F, Howard Bilerman, Julian Smith, Brian Michael Roff, Sasha Frere-Jones, Liz W, Tuwa Baap and Benjamen Walker. I extend to all of them my most heartfelt thanks for answering the call and doing me a big favour. Please make them feel welcome by leaving comments on their posts. :)
Thank-you again to the guests, to Adrian for helping set up the techie end, and thanks to all you readers. I'll see you all on the 24th.
