To express my appreciation of the independent book stores of the NY metro area for their support of my book, I’ll be conducting a lightning-fast “flash tour” (blame me for the awful term, but it gets to the point) of Manhattan on Friday, June 6th, and Brooklyn on Sunday, June 8th–after which I’ll be attending the Brooklyn Bridge Park marathon reading of “Song of Myself”.
I’ll be dropping into select New York bookshops to sign their copies of my book, express my thanks to the staff, and then bugger off so they can get on with their lives. (If you see a debonair but tragically short man defacing a copy of “Whitman Illuminated” at your local bookshop, please say hello.)
I appreciate the business of indie bookstores as much as they appreciate yours, so kindly support them!
