I've started my book tour and it's a whirlwind. If it's Sunday, it must be Madison. I'm in Chicago tonight, Manhattan tomorrow night, Brooklyn on Wednesday night, and Cambridge on Thursday night. I'll blog more about the tour in upcoming days, and if you want to see me when I'm in town, look up the tour under "Events." For now, though, I want to mention some good news.
First, if you'll indulge me for a moment and allow me to toot my own horn, did you read last Thursday's Janet Maslin review? If not, read it here. And how about this week's review in People? I can't find a link for that, so I'm pasting below. And more good news. MATRIMONY's been out for less than two weeks and it's already gone back to reprint. So get 'em while they're hot!
People Magazine, October 22, 2007:
"College Freshmen beware. Those first friendships and flings can change the rest of your life. In Henkin's charming novel, waspy Manhattanite Julian Wainwright arrives in '86 at Graymont College, befriends brash Carter Heinz and falls for Jewish Mia Mendelsohn. MATRIMONY follows both the friendship and the marriage over the years, through loss, betrayal and reconciliation. Henkin keeps you reading with original characters, witty dialogue and a view that marriage, for all its flaws, is worth the trouble."
