And not the most important part of the story, but Tom Alter is a remarkable scholar—in a less repressive era/country, some fancy school would recruit him. I recommend buying/reading his work!

Thank you so much for coming and for writing. It means a lot that you were able to come. And dang, what a cool bookstore! Good place for cat shirts. 🙏

There’s a good chance that I’ll be wearing this same shirt at the book launch.
