One of the fun things about being a Fulbright fellow is that the State Department will set up talks for you to give around town. When I was in Krakow last time around, I got to do a few talks in Warsaw, including one in front of a couple of justices of the Constitutional Court there. Here in Buenos Aires, the Department has set up four talks for me in the next month or so on a variety of topics.

My novel is a continuation of the title story of my story collection “The Adventures of Ed Tuttle, Associate Justice and other stories,” and tells the tale of a Supreme Court justice having a mid-life crisis in the middle of one of the biggest terms in recent years. Among other things, it involves Taoism and a frisky cat. I’m hoping to do as many readings as I can next fall and winter, so if you know of any reading series or great bookstores in your town that might be willing to have me, please let me...
