As I put this up a while ago, on the eve of the tour I’ll repost it as there’s been a few small changes. If I’m coming through one of your locales, please don’t hesitate to get in touch (it’s really just a media tour — no readings, but I may be back through at some point). If you’re a journalist or radio/tv producer and would like to set something up, please contact Gabrielle Brooks at Knopf.
