I went to Powell’s yesterday to pick up a gift for a friend, and, there, in the lobby, were copies of my book, next to Zadie Smith’s On Beauty. It’s a hard act to follow, but don’t worry, Zadie, you’ll do just fine. (I kid, I kid.)
I was surprised because Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits doesn’t officially come out until October 7, but I suppose the shipments arrived early. A quick check online showed that both Powells.com and Amazon.com have it available already.
Check out your favorite local bookstore and let me know if you see my book there. (Send me a picture if you happen to have a camera phone!) And while you’re at it, pick up a copy if you like.
