    Events

    I am often asked to visit Book Clubs here in the midwest. Due to the constraints of time and distance this is usually impossible, but I'm happy to speak to your group by (speaker) phone at the time of your discussion. This has proven to be a pleasant way to share our thoughts, back and forth. Please make arrangements with publicity@​uwpress.wisc.edu.
