Ah, it’s a 2017 talk. I was going to say that this guy is a trouper if he gets stabbed and might lose an eye and still gets up to go to Miami Book Fair! Or perhaps that wuold just be a testament to the allure of Miami, its book fairs, and that both “The Golden Girls” and “Dexter” were set there.

Maybe it’s something to do with the equator, but those Amazon links still don’t work. I’d like to be sending micro-donations to the podcast, but alas, I’m being thwarted somehow.
