World's shortest FAQ

Q. Are you aware there's another book called "Cloud Atlas"?

A. Oh yes. It's been an interesting experience (though not quite as interesting as the time I was a celebrity guest judge on a Chinese reality TV show focused on finding the best English-speaking child in China).

Q. Do you like bookstores?

A. So much so that I contributed an essay to a wonderful anthology from Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers titled, My Bookstore: Writers Celebrate Their Favorite Places to Browse, Read, and Shop.
