Publication day for Sorry, Sorry, Sorry; The Case for Good Apologies is nigh!

On January 10, 2023, we’ll have our West Coast launch (that’s Susan/Sumac’s territory) at 7pm at Kepler’s Books & Magazines in Menlo Park, CA. We’ll be interviewed by the great radio host Angie Coiro for Kepler’s Literary Foundation. Info’s on the Kepler’s Foundation website, with tix available on Eventbrite. “Premier Admission” includes an autographed copy of the book.

Not this Kepler. (Also, this is clearly James Brolin.)

On January 13 at 7pm, we’ll have our East Coast launch at P&T Knitwear, a new bookstore (with a podcast space that’s open to the public, so cool) near Marjorie’s East Village, NYC home. Again, you can RSVP at Eventbrite. The reading’s free, or you can pre-order a signed book.

Not this knitwear. But Marjorie loves Rachel Antonoff sweaters.

It’s delightful to get to introduce our book at two indie bookstores, one that’s been around since 1955 and one that’s a newcomer. (Fun fact: The latter is called P&T Knitwear to commemorate a long-ago sweater store by that name in the neighborhood. It was started by the founder’s grandfather, Hymie Tusk, who survived the Holocaust, emigrated to NYC, and set up shop in 1952 with a business partner he’d met in a Displaced Persons camp.)

We’ll also be doing a book-club chat on The Inkwell, which is part of the longtime online community (since 1985!) The Well, where Susan and Marjorie first met in the ‘90s. Most of The Well is subscription-only, but The Inkwell, The Well’s author-interview space, welcomes anyone who wants to hang out. (The old-school interface is part of its charm. You’ll figure it out.) Check the site whenever you like between Feb 28 and March 13, engage with other readers, ask questions, discuss terrible apologies, and get a sense of how pleasant a non-Musk-y, non-Meta-y conversational space can be. Angie Coiro will be leading the conversation there, too.

Not this well. (But man, Julio Torres, co-writer of this short film, is a genius.)

We’ll announce more events as they come along. In the meantime, please enjoy the book trailer our lovely publisher made for us.
