Facelift
In honor of the upcoming paperback release of Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits, my book site received a fresh look.

When I was in London last month, I was interviewed by Paul Blezard of OneWord Radio about my Caine Prize shortlisted story, “The Fanatic.” Now it looks like the conversation is available online.
I also did an interview with Polly de Blank for BBC World Service. You can listen to all the shortlisted writers on the same page, which is pretty cool.
In The Guardian, Maya Jaggi writes about her experience judging the Caine Prize this year.
If you’ve tried to buy a signed copy of Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits and couldn’t get one, my apologies. There were none left. But a couple of weeks ago I signed more than 50 copies at the Powell’s offices in Portland. You can find them here.
I’m going to be reading from Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits tonight at the Lake Oswego Public Library. Here are the details:
Third Tuesday Author Series
July 18, 2006
7:00 p.m
Lake Oswego Public Library
706 4th Street
Lake Oswego, Oregon.
If you live in the area, come on by. The event is free and open to the public.
I just got back from London last night, and have loads of emails and mail to go through, so please come back on Monday, when I will have some commentary about books, art, and, oh yes, world news. The photo above was taken at the British Parliament, last week. From left to right: me, Muthoni Garland, Darrel Bristow-Bovey, Mary Watson, and Sefi Atta.
