3pm, Saturday, Dec 27th, 2008:
Nisi Shawl read and signed her collection, Filter House (trade paperback from Aqueduct Press). The reading was recorded, but they never sent us a copy or link. 🙁
She would later write on her blog:
“On December 27, I read at The Other Change of Hobbit. An audience of 8, plus 3 store staff were in attendance. Only one white person sitting there. I thought ‘This must be the most black people this store has ever seen.'”
Rather presumptious. She don’t know the Berkeley demographic very well, do she?
