Bay Area folks: I'll be having an open-ended public conversation with the art historian Alex Nemerov about the powers of unknowing, today at 430pm. Neither of us has any idea about what's going to transpire, so it should be interesting at least events.stanford.edu/event/the-ri...

Pvd friends, I’ll be at Riffraff tonight to read and talk with the great Francesca Mari—come through!

Very grateful for this beautiful, thoughtful review of The Right to Oblivion at @thenation.com. It's especially pleasing to see the book put into conversation with great Bernadette Mayer www.thenation.com/article/cult...

DC area friends and enemies: I'll be in town, talking with Antón Barba-Kay, on Feb 20. Come say hello. Also check out Antón's terrific book, if you haven't already

Today's the day! I poured everything I've got into this book, and now, eight years after I started working on it, it is officially published! I'm so grateful for everyone who helped make this book a reality - and to all of my readers for their support.

insanely pleasing to have my book appear in this murderer’s row of a year in reading

Boston-area folks: I'll be at the Harvard Book Store in Cambridge tomorrow evening to discuss my new book with Michael Sandel (7-8pm). It would be great to see you if you're around and free! www.harvard.com/event/lowry-...
