Book Insanity America
Dateline Los Angeles - Book Expo America grinds on to the inevitable conclusion. Attendance is down as many in the east coast book biz stayed home this year.
Los Angeles is an incredible, unreal scene for your innocent correspondent. Last night I finagled an invite to Larry King’s party for Ted Turner in Beverly Hills. I will give you all the juicy details in a future post. Suffice it to say that it was decadent and bizarre. A grand time was had by all.
I left the party at 3am (Ohio time) and my inner clock was going haywire. Several of the party goers continued on to another party. I did not have the stamina. The next party was at the musician Prince’s house. He performed for an hour from 1 to 2am west coast time.
And so it goes at BEA. Lots of books and lots of looks at the glitterati of SoCal.

Claire, I wish I had gotten to talk to you at the party. I did not speak to those women but I certainly “observed” them.By claire

You stayed at the Turner party til midnight PST? I left at 9 pm, I was wiped! It was a lot of fun, though, I enjoyed meeting Ted Turner. and Larry King was indeed “colorful.” You must post more about your experience at it — did you meet any of those beautiful blonde botoxed women sitting together?
