The author Jeffrey Luscombe has written a great piece on the experience of dressing down? up? to discuss his first novel Shirts and Skins (available in our shop!): What would Alice Munro do? That is the one question I have asked myself repeatedly since I published my first novel, Shirts and Skins. And over the past two years I have tried my best to adhere to this mantra: I have done library readings, chatted and sipped tea with ladies’ book clubs, exchanged polite correspondence with readers and had the occasional book signing, just as I thought Alice would do or had done during her career. For the most part I have followed my WWAMD rule. After all, it seemed that following a Canadian literary icon and Nobel laureate was an intelligent and practical way to begin my budding literary career. But in early October the opportunity arose to be a guest at a naked book club in Toronto that had chosen my novel as its October selection. Stripping down to my birthday suit to discuss my novel? WWAMD?
