From now until the birfday o’ the bouncing baby Jesus, your favorite underground publisher —Plastic Love Monkey Press—is offering 30% off on orders of Román Leão’s inside a broken clock.
That’s cheaper than a half-rack of Lone Star, and better for you! Enjoy.

I’ve been invited to read from the good ol’ metaphysical Sasquatch time-skipping bardo freakout as part of San Rafael’s LitQuake this Saturday. Come on down, I’ll be wearing my Román Leão mask; I’ll be masquerading (I think Bob Dylan said that). This from the Blue Moon Comics website:

I popped into Whyte’s Booksmith in San Anselmo to pick up the copy of John Barth’s Lost in the Funhouse that I ordered in a weird postmodernist frenzy, and, low and behold, what intriguing novel by a local up-and-coming author did they have on the shelf? That’s right, Román Leão’s inside a broken clock: a modern fable! It looks right—all nestled up between T. E. Lawrence and Harper Lee. The three of them will have lots to talk about I’m sure.
