An amazing week …

My new book released, we had excellent gatherings to discuss the book in New York, Washington DC, and Boston. And in light of religiously-related violence (and puerile filmmaking), there has been a good bit of media attention too.

Today, I’m in Jefferson City (capital of Missouri), and tomorrow I’ll be in St. Louis (Ladue). Tuesday I’ll be in Grand Rapids. I hope friends in the Midwest will come say hi! More information available here:
