US Tour 2006
Doubleday has nailed down my Company US book tour, so if you’re interested in listening to me orally mangle my novel and write amusing things on your copy, you’re in luck! Providing, of course, you live in one of a very small number of cities:
- Los Angeles, CA
Wednesday January 25th, 2006 - San Francisco, CA
Thursday January 26th, 2006 - Seattle, WA
Saturday January 28th, 2006 - Portland, OR
Monday January 30th, 2006 - New York, NY
Wednesday February 1st, 2006
If you can’t make it, here’s the one-line summary: I’m taller and more Australian than you expect.

Oh, and that was a great first response, still smiling about it.

I can't believe they wouldn't at least hit Chicago. At least you east coast folk are a (relatively) quick shot up 95. If you're in DC or further north, that is.
No 15 hour drives for us!

CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK. WHAT'S IN BETWEEN?
Apparently nothing. Whatever happened to the good old days when Max Barry at least took a half-way stop in Chicago? It's one of the largest cities in the US and only three hours from my house as opposed to New York, which is about fifteen. Sure, Chicago is right next to Gary, Indiana, the crap hole of America, but I'd still drive through Gary to meet Max Barry. I guess I will have to wait another 4-5 years until Max Barry writes another novel...(sigh).

Later: Patiently waiting for the European tour, which will include Stockholm, Sweden.
2058: Patiently waiting for the European tour, which will include Stockholm, Sweden, and that I will have the opportunity to attend. If both Max and I will be alive that is...

BTW, if anyone else in the Midwest needs to order because you can't make the signings, I've ordered a couple of books from Elliot Bay and they're terrific.
