When did I first notice she’d gone global?
I have to answer that question with a phrase I now understand is the lament of the middle-aged: I don’t remember.
After my first book was published, certainly.
Chapinlandia Meets Gringolandia in the Disneylandia of the 21st-century Newsroom never made me famous outside of certain journalism school circles, but it did get me on tour to different universities (and university bars). I thought I caught glimpses of her in Austin, Syracuse, L.A., Munich, Milan.
But I wasn’t certain until I saw her—this Guatemalan monster out of my past—in my hometown of Philadelphia.
