As I wrote on Monday, University of Nebraska Press author Robert Camuto is visiting from France, stopping in cities on both coasts to read from his book Corkscrewed: Adventures in the New French Wine Country (he also brought with him some of the wines described in the book, and those who attend his talks will get a taste). Robert is blogging from the road, and you can read what he has to say (and view pictures) at his web site.

While we’re on the topic of UNP author blogs, Kurt Caswell, whose book An Inside Passage comes out in May, has been living in Seville, Spain, since January. He writes about the food, the people, the city, his occasional outings as a tourist, and about his life as a writer and teacher in a foreign country on his blog, which is also where the image at left is from.

One last blog note: We mentioned here yesterday that it was Wallace Stegner’s 100th birthday. Turns out, we were in good company. Timothy Egan of The New York Times also mentioned Stegner on his blog yesterday, and noted that the author is the subject of two recent biographies. One of those, Wallace Stegner: His Life and Work, by Jackson J. Benson, is a Bison paperback that comes out in May.
