Last week, we hosted a reading by Peter Fogtdal, author of the novel The Tsar's Dwarf. We host a lot of events here, and we're pretty used to seeing them from the back row. So it's fun to read the author's perspective. Fogtdal wrote an account of his visit to Minneapolis on his blog. It covers not only his appearance at M&Q, but readings at the Danish-American Center and the U: "I'm at University of Minnesota to talk to a class called Introduction to Scandinavia. Fellow Dane Søren Vestergaard Riis has invited me. 34 freshmen are sitting in front of me listening like thieves. Students are nice in Minnesota. They don't yawn much, they laugh at your jokes, and they only storm out of class when you've promised not to give them a D."--David E
