A MEMORY CALLED EMPIRE - BOOK LAUNCH & TOUR
In approximately 48 hours, A Memory Called Empire will be released into the world at large, for your reading pleasure. I am incredibly excited and horrifically nervous all at once. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it; I hope it sticks with you and makes you think; I hope it is something you find beautiful and disturbing and pleasurable to read.
LAUNCH PARTY: Tuesday 3/26/19, 7 PM at the Ivy Bookshop in Baltimore, MD!
(There will be Teixcalaanli objects for you to consume and/or take home. Plus readings from me and Vivian Shaw, from both of our work plus a new project we’re working on together…)
