Brave the last wet tatters of Katrina – come out to the Casa Del Popolo tonight for the launch of Vince Tinguely’s New Novella “Final Trainwreck of a Lost-Mind Summer”.
I’ll be reading “Gingerly”. Here’s an excerpt:
That was his name for the dog in his head: Ginger Lee. He called her Ginger in public – a Golden Retriever’s name – all wrong for her black hair and blue eyes.
“What’s your dog’s name?” they’d ask him in the park.
“Ginger,” he’d say with a smile.
“Ginger eh? And what’s your name, Fred?” So everyone and their dog started calling him Fred. Wallace had never had a nickname before.
