This week in self-obsession
The other day I conducted something I do far less often than you might think: a lengthy web search of my own name. I’m glad I did because it turned up two great things I didn’t know about:
- A excerpt from Break On Through on the truly excellent break culture blog, Celebreak. They thought it looked promising, which I appreciate because let’s face it, actual b-boys and b-girls should be the toughest audience for this book. I can’t overstate how important it was to me that I get the culture and the dancing right.
- Lina Gordaneer reviewed Break On Through on the Hip Librarians Book Blog. She thought Nadine could use a “quick bop on the head,” which I can’t say I disagree with. She also called the book “compulsively readable,” which is always nice to hear because to me (and I think to a lot of writers), writing generally means spending 3 or more hours a day convinced that I’m going to be outed as boring immediately upon publication.
