Publication of Running with the Pack

Running with the Pack will be published on March 7th – with Granta, the publishers of The Philosopher and the Wolf. The launch coincided with a scheduled (and, needless to say, very well-earned) sabbatical from the University of Miami, and before I knew it I found myself on a tour of the UK: split between March and May (in between I’ll be spending a month at the École Normale Supérieure in Lyon, where I’ll be Visiting Professor). I’ll post details of the March schedule as soon as they have been finalized.

I’m looking forward to going back to Oxford at the end of March – I spent a couple of very happy years there in the late 1980s doing my doctorate, and haven't really been back very much since. I’ll be writer-in-residence at the Sunday Times Oxford Literary Festival, and will be giving two talks there – one on Running with the Pack and the other on The Philosopher and the Wolf.

And, in May, I’m very much looking forward to appearing at the Telegraph Hay Festival. I grew up only around thirty miles away, but it will be the first time I’ve visited the area in the same number of years.

One last thing – if anyone does have a ticket for the Wales-England game in Cardiff on March 16th, and might be willing to part with said ticket for an agreed price, please do let me know

Anyway, here is the March schedule, as it currently stands. I apologize for posting it so late. Granta have been changing things around on me incesstantly over the past few weeks - largely for fun I think.
