Live from San Francisco...

This past Thursday I made my radio debut, an appearance on “Out in the Bay” on KALW FM 91.7. The host, Eric Jansen, interviewed me about CHEMISTRY and gave me the opportunity to read a couple of passages aloud. I admit to entering the studio with a little trepidation, but once we were on the air the butterflies flew out of my stomach and I really began to enjoy the experience. Eric and I had a wide-ranging conversation, from specifics about the book to the larger issues it raises—the effects of depression, the perils of dating, the lessons of self-discovery. It was a lot of fun, and I hope, interesting for the audience. The show will be rebroadcast on Sunday, July 9, at 2:00 pm PT and is also available online, at http://www.kalw.org/.
