This is just an advance notice: if you live in the Washington, D.C. area, on May 27 I’m doing a book event at Politics and Prose, a famous independent bookstore on Connecticut Avenue. The information is here, but I’ve put the screenshot below.

I’ll give a 20-minute talk on the book, answer questions, and then sign books. If you say the secret word (“Maru”), you’ll get a special moggie drawn in your book.

I’ll also be talking at the spiffy University Club of Chicago (a longer talk on the book) at noon on May 21 (76 E. Monroe St.), but they haven’t yet announced it formally. It’ll be open to the public as well as members, but I’m not sure if nonmembers have to get tickets. Stay tuned.
