I’m back from a little book tour – D.C., Philadelphia, New Jersey – hence the long silence. The nice thing about reading in places that appear in your memoir is that old friends sometimes turn up to hear you. The problem, if you wait too long to write the memoir (or it takes too long to get it published), is that a few of them can’t make it due to physical disabilities.
Yesterday the memoir appeared in Michael Dirda’s roundup of books for the holidays in the Washington Post.
