I’ll be on book tour this fall, speaking about my new book, Nations Apart: How Clashing Regional Cultures Shattered America, which goes on sale from Viking/Random House Nov. 4.
Kirkus Reviews calls it “A lucid exercise in political geography with tremendous—and disturbing—explanatory power,” and it was named a November must read by the Next Big Idea Club.
I’ll be speaking about the book and meeting readers at events in at least seven states and the District of Columbia. Come say hi if one of these events is near you.
