Yes, I’m mostly thinking about the premiere of The Letter on July 25, but I haven’t lost sight of the publication of Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong on December 2. The good news is that Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is planning to send me on a multi-city book tour, and several dates have already been confirmed.
Here are the places where I’ll definitely be speaking:
• The Boston Athenaeum on December 3.
• The Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble on December 7.
• The Los Angeles Public Library on December 8.
• Baltimore’s Enoch Pratt Free Library on December 9.
• The Philadelphia Free Library on December 10.
In addition, there’s a good chance that I’ll be speaking in Washington, D.C., on January 6–no details yet, though.
Needless to say, watch this space for further information and additional tour dates in other cities.
As for The Letter, the Santa Fe Opera has now posted an online schedule of events related to the upcoming premiere, including various public appearances that Paul Moravec and I will be making. If you’re coming to Santa Fe to see the show, go here to find out what else you can do.
