Birthdays

I’ve been told to take the day off.

It’s Kraft’s birthday.

It’s also my birthday.

I’m going to spend the day drafting the “Birthdays” entry for The Topical Autobiography of Mark Dorset.

A note from Candi Lee Manning, Kraft’s bubbly publicist:

Hi there! I’ll bet you’re asking yourself, “Why should I subscribe? I mean, like, what’s in it for me?”

Well, I’ll tell you!

By subscribing you’ll you’ll stay up-to-date. You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter will go directly to your inbox.

By subscribing you’ll gain access to every one of Mark Dorset’s Topical Guide commentaries. To see how extensive, thought-provoking, and entertaining those commentaries are, take a look at the index to the Topical Guide.
By subscribing you’ll join the crew. You’ll be part of a community of earnest screwballs who are reading the serial republication of a work that Newsweek called “great art that looks like fun,” the Seattle Times called “an ever-evolving comic masterpiece,” and the New York Times Book Review called “a weird wonder.” You’ll be able to post comments, join discussions, exchange clam recipes, discuss recherché allusions and more!

Did you click that button? I hope you did! If you did, thank you!

Have you missed an episode or two or several?

  • You can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.

  • You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast. Begin at the beginning or scroll through the episodes to find what you’ve missed.

  • At Apple Books you can download free eBooks of “My Mother Takes a Tumble,” “Do Clams Bite?,” “Life on the Bolotomy,” and “The Static of the Spheres,” the first four novellas in Little Follies.

  • You’ll find an overview of the entire work in  An Introduction to The Personal History, Adventures, Experiences & Observations of Peter Leroy. It’s a pdf document.

The serialization of The Personal History, Adventures, Experiences & Observations of Peter Leroy is supported by its readers. I sometimes earn affiliate fees when you click through the affiliate links in a post. EK
The illustration in the banner that opens each episode is from an illustration by Stewart Rouse that first appeared on the cover of the August 1931 issue of Modern Mechanics and Inventions.
