I'll be appearing at the Brattleboro Literary Festival in southern Vermont. More info at the festival website!

I'll be welcoming the authors Lori Ostlund and Anne Raeff to Winnetka's Book Stall for a discussion of  Anne's debut collection The Jungle Around us and Lori's novel After the Parade. They are partners and brilliant writers, and I'm excited to join them and pick their brains. You can find event details here.

I'll be reading, chatting, and signing at Beloit College in Wisconsin. Details here!

I'll be teaching a free class on scene-building at the Lake Villa, Illinois library. Please join us! Details here, right between the foreign policy discussion and the tablescapes class.

I'm thrilled to be in conversation with former Chicago resident Emily Robbins about her debut novel, A Word for Love, an intense and gorgeous story of an American studying in Syria.

Come hang out on the night The Great Believers is first available! I'll be a nervous wreck and could use the company.

Please join me on the outskirts of Denver!

I'll be in conversation with the novelist J. Ryan Stradal, author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest.

I'll be in conversation with novelist Lori Ostlund, author of After the Parade. 1 Ferry Plaza is at the foot of Market and Embarcadero.
