UK events, NPR and other news
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012
I’ve just updated my appearances page in include my UK paperback tour. It includes two events at the Hay Festival, which I’m very excited about, as well as terrific evenings at the Bristol Festival of Ideas, Topping Books and the Twickenham Library.
In other news, I recently wrote an essay for NPR about a long-time favorite book of mine, Elizabeth von Arnim’s Enchanted April. It was such a pleasure for me to get to write about it, and I hope that you enjoy the piece.
There are just a few days left before I head off to the UK for the Orange Prize shortlist events, so I am busily repacking. Given all the traveling, Myth of the Week has been on hiatus for the past week, but I promise that I have a good one coming very soon. The pits of Tartarus aren’t just for men anymore…
