A Q&A for Mashable, a review in the LARB, & a fun pack
Necessary Errors is the next book in Mashable’s online book club, which will take the form of a Twitter chat via the handle @mashlifestyle on November 5, between 5:30pm and 6pm. In anticipation, I’ve answered a few of the Mashable editors’ questions about life before smartphones and my fetish for protective polyester sheeting.
There’s a very generous review of the novel in the L.A. Review of Books by Lyle Zimskind, who is himself an old Prague hand.
And for $30, n+1 will sell you the “circuitous path” that I took to reach my novel, as chronicled in the pages of that journal.
A reading in Austin, Texas
I’ll be reading from my novel on Thursday, September 26, at 7pm on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. The reading will be free and open to the public, and it will take place in the Joynes Reading Room, which is on the east side of the Carothers Residence Hall, 2501 Whitis Avenue. (The Facebook event page is here.)
Please note that copies of my novel will NOT be available for sale at this reading, because of university regulations, but feel free to bring one if you’d like it signed. You might be able to pick up a copy at the Austin bookstore Book People on the way into town (apparently they have five copies in stock as of Monday morning).
