Get ready for the most fun Tuesday of 2024. We’ll mark publication day with a big party at Darlings. Literature! Cocktails! Music! Scams!

I’ll be in conversation with the great Halimah Marcus, executive director of Electric Literature, followed by a vinyl set by DJ Harlan and general revelry. Books will be available for sale via Rough Draft Bar & Books.
