The conference, being held at the St. James Cavalier Center for Creativity in Valletta, Malta, is free. "Come as you are," the website urges.
Papers being presented include Pynchon's Signifying Duck: History and Fanciful Extension in MASON & DIXON.
If anyone is in the neighborhood, please do stop by and send back a report.
