Went and got some books signed by Ellen Kushner (and by Delia Sherman in Fall of the Kings' case). They're both very adorable person. There was this hilarious moments when Kushner's was reading the first chapter of Swordspoint (alternating between English and French) and Delia's phone rang, and they said it's Cassie Claire calling, that she was a 'very famous' person who had a book released soon XDDD

Then there was a kind of radio show taking place in the same bookstore where Ellen Kushner was interviewed, and she sang a Thomas the Rhymer ballad and it was AWESOME. I'll need to ge the mp3 of the show.

I got to talk a little bit with Delia while the show was taking place and she recced me books by Karen Joy Fowler, which do seem very nice, and her own books - well not that brazenly, she was just talking about them and they sounded nice ^^.

Three days to the Utopiales, woot!

That sounds like a really cool reading/event! So, does Kushner speak French then?

She does! Totally manage conversing fine, although she had a big accent and a few grammatical/vocabulary lapses. Delia understood French too, but had trouble speaking.

Apparently they've both travelled to France pretty often :)

And yes, it was very cool :)

Hey, awesome! I've heard quite good reactions on Kushner. Maybe I should but her on my to-read list.

LOL at Cassie Claire. XD
