French publisher Inculte (www.inculte.fr), which specializes in contemporary literature, sociology and philosophy, bought the rights to Beneath the Neon and My Week at the Blue Angel and is in the process of translating the books. They’re both scheduled to be published in late January.

As part of the deal, I’ll travel to Paris for a week to help promote the books when they’re released. I’d love to venture into the catacombs/quarries. If you know someone who could serve as my guide, please pass along their contact info. I’d gladly return the favor with a tour of the Vegas drains.
