Live from Semana Negra

Yesterday was the official launching of 99 Ejercicios de estilo at Semana Negra. I did a chat with journalist Quim Pérez in a space sponsored and furnished by Ikea. Here we are being introduced by festival co-organizer Ángel de la Calle:
There is also an interview with me in today's edition of El País, Spain's major newspaper--exciting news, my Spanish friends assure me. You can read it on-line here, although I'm not sure how long the link will be there.

Now it's back to plugging my book, talking endlessly about comics and food, and sampling different kinds of orujo (which is basically grappa): honey-flavored, cranberry-flavored, herbal, and plain (blanco).
