News that you can use, provided you live in Western Massachusetts
I’ll be reading and signing books in my home town tonight. 7 PM at Food For Thought Books in Amherst. Come early as this is a small store and it’s probably going to be crowded.
Those of you who have already read Look Me in the Eye may particularly appreciate this event because a number of characters from the book will be in evidence in the crowd and you may be able to pick several out. Most will be friendly.
In addition, you will be able to see and examine faculty from the Amherst School system and the University of Massachusetts, the two institutions from which I received what little education I have.
And next Thursday I’ll be appearing at Elms College in Chicopee to kick off their new graduate program in autism/Asperger’s. Elms is a teacher’s college serving Western Massachusetts. I will be speaking to students, educators, and mental health professionals in the afternoon followed by a reception and public reading and book signing at 7. All are welcome.
The Odyssey Bookstore will have books at the Elms.
The Elms appearance will be unique because we’ll talk about the school programs in addition to the book, and the need to address diversity and special needs education in our schools. I will also announce a new scholarship program in furtherance of that goal.
And that’s not all . . . .
For all you Longmeadow and Connecticut residents . . . I’ll be at the Suffield Library at the beginning of November
And I’ll be back home at Amherst Books at the beginning of December

i busted out laughing at the part when diane asks you what your parents thought about you playing tricks on augusten. you give the background that your parents were caught up in their own hardships so you and augusten went feral. i've never heard a more clear and concise description to what happens to many of us.
watching you and augusten together reminds me how similar i feel to augusten and how much you are like my husband. i'm naive and would have fallen for the detroit fairy too.
