Eagle Nest, New Mexico, 2012. “People like to drive because driving is actually and symbolically an almost perfect mechanism for escape…there is probably no human being who does not have troubles, real or imagined, from which he at times feels the need to flee.” George R. Stewart.

We own a 1975 GMC Sierra Grande 15 in Maine, and an '86 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe 10 in West Texas. Also a pair of '97 Volvo 850 wagons. Average age in the fleet is 24 years--we're recyclers. I've published a book of stories NIGHT DRIVING (1987), and 2 novels: THE LAW OF DREAMS (2006), and THE O'BRIENS, which came out in the US (Pantheon) and Canada (House of Anansi) in 2012. A book of stories TRAVELLING LIGHT comes out in May 2013. More of my book stuff at www.peterbehrens.org I'm a Fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study for 2012-13.

My brilliant careerism.

           My sailing story from the June issue of Maine Magazine, referred to in a previous Autoliterate post, is now online.


           This next note has, admittedly, little to do with trucks, cars, highways, or even boats--but (I hope) something to do with aesthetics, which is another Autoliterate preoccupation. My new novel The O'Briens has just appeared in Canada, where it is published by House of Anansi Press. It is available at Canadian retailers, and online at places like amazon.ca and chapters/indigo.  The US edition (Pantheon Press) comes out February 2012.
            There. Enough puffery.
