NPR’s San Francisco outlet, KALW, broadcasts the terrific show “Your Call.” Today’s broadcast was all about books! Kevin Hunsanger (co-owner of Green Apple Books) and Christin Evans (Owner of Booksmith) talk about their favorite books of the year.

But what’s really exciting is when Mr Hunsanger praises StretchyHead at minute 47:52…

“They’re little vignettes that are a cross between Richard Brautigan [and] Raymond Carver… This is a beautiful little book.”

I already wrote a bit about the book in an earlier post.  Author James Kaelon and videographer Miles Kittredge are mid-tour, by bicycle, promoting Kaelon’s “We’re Getting On.” They just left San Francisco this morning and are heading north.  Abandonment of technology is a central theme of Kaelon’s stories, and now he and Kittredge are living the dream.  The tour and the book are 100% carbon neutral.

The novel has garnered exceptional reviews and landed Kaelon on the cover of Poets & Writers.  I got to see Kaelon read at Green Apple Books on Friday and was not disappointed.  If you have the opportunity to see these guys somewhere along their journey, seize it!
