I’ll be in Barcelona later this week. Might be fun to connect some bloggers, perhaps Friday. More later…

I’m honored to be speaking at the upcoming Kosmopolis 2008 in Barcelona, Spain. The biennial gathering, held this year in late October, brings together an amazing group of people involved in literature and the arts. I’ll be part of a program on the future of journalism.
