No Kominsky Crumb St. Louis Stop

imageI was just forwarded by a couple of people an e-mail going out from a local bookstore in St. Louis stating that 1) Aline Kominsky Crumb will not appear at the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis, as scheduled, and that 2) "the French publishing company is no longer in business" which apparently means "there is a very limited supply of Ms. Crumb's book."

Update: The tour stop cancellation was confirmed by the Museum's book-selling partner for the event Left Bank Books; a representative of which described it as a cancellation of the entire tour.

This leaves in question the status of Relie and calls for double-checking the status of the book. A phone call to Need More Love's American publisher MQ Publications has yet to be returned, although there's no indication of any change in book status I can find. The French publisher is Relie, and I don't see anything about their status on-line, although I'm too inept to find a web site for them, to be honest. If anyone out there has word on any element of this, please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Update #2: Everything's cool and the book is great, says American publisher MQ Publications.
