After BEA
We know you’re probably just now beginning to recover from BookExpo America 2013. The show was loaded with panels, breakfasts, meetings, more panels, and tons of authors, and there were more than a few parties to fill the evenings. Catch up on everything you missed with PW’s extensive coverage, with full access to each day’s PW Show Daily and much more.

Dan Kennedy sends a media exec on a deeply bizarre midlife crisis/vision quest that takes him from Bali to a good ol’ American strip mall parking lot in his new novel, American Spirit (Little A/New Harvest). We talk to Kennedy about all this madness.
And if that isn’t strange enough for you, check out our interview with Oscar Goodman, former mob lawyer (clients included Meyer Lansky) and mayor of Las Vegas. Only in America? Nah. Only in Vegas. He details it all in his autobiography, Being Oscar (Weinstein).
