There will be a book launch for my translation of The Zombie of Great Peru, by Pierre-Corneille Blessebois, published by Black Scat Books. It will take place at the Morbid Anatomy Museum in Brooklyn, Thursday, August 20, at 8 pm. The museum is at 424 Third Ave. I’ll talk about Blessebois — murderer, arsonist, pornographer, mercenary, deserter, gigolo, galley slave, and man of letters — and read some juicy parts. There will be cold drinks as well.

I’ve finished my translation of Alphonse Allais’s only novel, The Blaireau Affair, which will be published by Black Scat Books sometime in the fall. Norman Conquest writes about his cover design at his new blog, over here.

My ever popular ukulele classes will resume at the Jalopy Theater on Monday, September 21. There are two levels (known officially as I and II); each class is eight weeks and is limited to eight students.
