We arrived in Mumbai the day before yesterday (the giant city that used to be called Bombay, home of Bollywood, the world’s largest film capital), and have been visiting family & friends. Also spent a lot of time in the hotel cafe – - gave a dozen interviews including some of India’s biggest papers like Times of India, The Hindu, Time Out Mumbai, DNA Daily News, and Rolling Stone India.
Last night I had a book signing downtown @ Crossword Bookstore, at Kemps Corner, Mumbai 7:00pm. Good turn out.
Today I am giving a lecture at the Whistling Woods Film Institute.
First I was given a tour of the animation dept. Very nice. State of the art.
Part of my talk covers comics influences like this Krazy Kat Sunday page by Geo. Herriman.
Afterward, the students came up and asked questions and passed around the books.
It was great fun!
Jeff,
I just wrote you a thank you note. Obviously you won’t be getting it anytime soon, India, wow! Unless you read this blog? I got online to find your address–not really thinking I’d find one. I thought I might drop the thank you note off at the Laughing Ogre in Clintonville, OH I’ve heard you go there sometimes. probably a rumor.
Anyway. Thank you for writing Bone. Every year I try to engage my students in reading. It’s not easy to hook them, but you did. They’re 6th and 7th graders who read on 3rd-4th-5th grade levels. Reading is difficult for them, but when they continue to not read, they don’t get better at reading.
I want to take pictures when they’re reading your books–because they’re reading independently and enjoying themselves.
thanks,
Diana Durbin-Koehler

And Diana, I hope you come back and check this! Thanks for your kind words. If you do take pictures of your students reading Bone books, send them to the contact section of this blog! We’d love to share them!
