Going on NPR’s “All Things Considered” tomorrow, Saturday August 26. Please check your listings to see when it’s on!!

In less dramatically exciting news, I got back from my MOTHERLAND mini-book tour about a week ago and wanted to share some photos. When I found out I had to get from Boston to Sag Harbor to Mattituck I decided to do most of it by ferry. Why do land when I could do water? Thanks to the people who came out in those fine cities to see me, especially in Mattituck, NY, where we had a lively discussion and one woman told me, “I live in a Long Island suburb. Come see my hell.”

Here are some pics with captions.
