A bookfesting kind of day

It gave me great pleasure to see Stacey Ann Chin and Sherman Alexie read. Hers was in the afternoon, outside under a tent. His was in the evening, in an auditorium where he received an award. Hers brought forth laughter and tears. His was extremely funny and included impersonations of animals. Both talked about being less angry now that they're older. They also both talked about the clitoris and asked audience members to raise their hands if they masturbate. (Perhaps someone issued a memo?)
