The book came out in the USA in September, under the title I THOUGHT MY FATHER WAS GOD, and I think it's really an amazing undertaking.
I actually got a chance to meet some of the other contributors, as well as Paul Auster, at a reading in early October (Barbelite Ria came out to support me, which was sweet) and a dinner afterwards.
I wouldn't think of it as a literary event, though--it's more like an oral history project, you know? All the contributors I met were, as advertised, just regular folks: a marine biologist, a marketing guy, various young professionals. Regular people with stories to tell, most with no aspirations to write professionally.
The book is uneven, of course--varying wildly in tone and sensibility--but that's part of the charm.
