Seattle friends! Come to the book launch for Intemperance on October 14, at Elliott Bay Book Company! I’ll be in conversation with these two brilliant authors, who have some irreverent questions planned for me. And there will be an Intemperance-shaped cake because the protagonist loves cake. Ahem.❤️

Friends, my book tour dates for INTEMPERANCE are getting finalized (starting Oct 14), and some of you had asked me to add your universities/local bookstores/book clubs/institutions/workplaces/festivals/conferences to the calendar. Do drop me a line so my publisher and I can make it happen?

Starting the week with a dazzling, intimate breakfast conversation with one of the most brilliant thinkers of our time. To be continued, dear @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social . Meanwhile, I’m diving into her new book which is described as having “fierce and poetic thinking.” We need that, we need that.
