Writer Adam Langer Is Touring, Go See Him!

Adam Langer, a very nice guy, former editor of Book Magazine, who was kind enough to name me an "emerging author" and was actually in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in Chicago with my sister about twenty years ago (what are the odds?) is touring with his debut novel, Crossing California.

He's at:

Monday, June 14
Pasadena, CA
7:00 PM
Vroman's Bookstore
695 E. Colorado Blvd.

where I'm going to go see him, and for my Northern California friends, he's at:

Saturday, June 12
Corte Madera, CA
7:00 PM
Book Passage
51 Talma Vista Blvd.

He's also all over Chicago and the Midwest, so keep a lookout if you're from there. Authors always feel great to see a reasonable crowd at a reading! (As all of you writers will find when it's your turn.) His book has gotten great reviews. I quote Publishers Weekly:

"In Chicago's West Rogers Park neighborhood in 1979, California Avenue divides the prosperous west side from the struggling east. Langer's brilliant debut uses that divide as a metaphor for the changes that occur in the lives of three neighborhood families: the Rovners, the Wasserstroms and the Wills."

Head over and say hi.
