Great news! Great book! "One committee member called the prize winner, 'One of the best books I’ve ever read.'"
A wonderful evening as the featured speaker at the World Affairs Council annual meeting in Springfield, Mass., talking about my latest book, *My Hijacking: A Personal History of Forgetting and Remembering,* including high school students with such thoughtful questions.
Thank you very kindly, @JRakove.
We were happy to find our books on the shelves of the thriving indy Harvard Bookstore, @HarvardBooks, in Cambridge, Mass., last week
Hiking in Wales was wonderful (and gloriously cold in June): that's my sweetheart on the peak of Sugar Loaf, in Brecon Beacons National Park. Then onto Berlin, including our favorite cafe, with its semi-secret writing-loft-for-two.
My father, #StuartHodes, who danced in Broadway shows, is listed here: “The Tony Awards joins with the entire theatre community in remembering friends and colleagues who have left us during the past months….They are always in our hearts." tonyawards.com/news/memoriam…
Graham 2, the Martha Graham School's apprentice company, honored my father this evening, performing his 1951 dance, "Flak," with 3 beautiful young men.
