My Brilliant Careerism: Law of Dreams & The O'Briens and Wichita

I'll be reading/talking at the Ulrich Museum of Art on the campus of Wichita State University on Thursday November 14th. Reception with vino and hors d'ouevres at 530pm; reading at 6pm. If you come to the reading I'll introduce you to some of the brilliant writers I have been working with here at WSU. An intriguing bunch. And I won't read too long, and won't talk too much, though you'll probably hear more than you need to about my Irish Canadian family, the O'Briens, including my mother, the legendary Frankie O'Brien (above), of Montreal. I think I'll read from 2 novels: one piece from The Law of Dreams, another from The O'Briens.
