theawl.com - William Gibson On Burroughs, Sterling, Dick, Libraries, The Uncanny, The Web

<p>Gibson appeared at the New York Public Library on Friday night for the <a href="http://www.theawl.com/2013/04/%E2%80%9Dhttp://www.nypl.org/events/live-nypl%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">LIVE From the NYPL</a> series, and it was something of an occasion. Gibson, as active as he is in <a href="http://www.theawl.com/2013/04/%E2%80%9Dhttps://twitter.com/GreatDismal%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">social media</a>, is somewhat known for begging out of extraneous obligations while he is in the process of writing a novel, which he is now. He did not explain why he broke his self-imposed solitude, but he did make some news, as he read publicly for the first time pages from his upcoming novel.</p>
