Monthly Archives: October 2009

I will be reading from Life with Sudden Death at Porter Square Books in Cambridge on Thursday, 29 October, at 7 p.m.

An interview I did for the Book Brahmin feature of the great book site Shelf Awareness was posted this week.

An essay I wrote for the “Lives”column—the last page of The New York Times Magazine—is in this week’s Sunday Times (4 October 2009). If you missed the Sunday paper, you can click here for “Sudden Death, or Breeze.” It’s the story of my return to teaching after the first life-saving defibrillator implanted in my chest had nearly killed me.
