      James Greer is super nice. I met him in San Francisco at City Lights. We had dinner later that night. We talked about a bunch of stuff. He’s fun to talk to. So, if you go to hear him read, approach him. He’ll talk to you.

      […] So, like Blake says, go see James Greer on tour. He has written a really good book. And, having seen him read to an audience, I can also say he’s a good reader. […]
