Vroman's bookstore will be invaded tonight by the likes of blogger and first time author Mark Sarvas. Mark is the founder of Elegant Variation an award winning lit site.

The LAT did a little Q&A with him today:

Speaking of rivalries, I see that Steve Almond, who you've attacked in the past, called you, years ago, "a wannabe writer bravely dedicated to long-distance slander." Is that a fair comment?

No, because actually it's libel when it's written: He should learn the difference.

Nice.
