Oops. Looks like our democracy is not for sale.
This man spent $500 million trying to buy an easier environment for his greed. Same man whose gleeful DOGE-chainsaw performance of “economizing America” destroyed the earnest careers of 300,000 workers in public health, scientific research, international aid, environmental regulation, every branch of social and civic services.
I’m celebrating the wisdom of our electorate this week, and also remembering lives lost, protesters murdered, children caged, citizens terrorized, environments ravaged, pedophile-buddies protected, goodness betrayed and trust shredded around the world. In just two years, while the pillagers-in-chief filled their pockets. These were crimes against humanity. Remembrance is not vengeance, it’s duty. There can be no peace without justice.

It really is. We’ve just enshrined in our constitution (1) the freedom to make our own reproductive choices, (2) the right to marry whom we choose, (3) the right to vote, even for those formerly incarcerated who have served their time.
Home, sweet home.

She sent this to my home address. A mailed note deserves a reply, yes?

My tour has moved faster than my posting, but this was the capstone of October: Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh, with splendid young pianists Ella Sumanesi and Larsen Vincent and conversation partner Anna Singer. Special thanks also to Sony Ton-Aime, Director of Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures, and the event photographer who captured that first image - with all those people holding up their Partitas behind me!
I’m home this week to vote, celebrate, and have a minor surgical hand tune-up before hitting the road again for the last leg of book tour.

I’ve thought this so many times: if I didn’t have my family anchoring me to the real world, I might get so lost in the writing zone I would forget to eat or sleep, until somebody came and found my skeleton draped over the keyboard. When I spied this fellow artist, I sympathized.
Swipe through all 15 photos for the full skeletal compendium of my October book tour.

Getting to chat onstage with a novelist I’ve admired forever was next level. Thanks @amortowles for bringing the great questions, and to pianist @joshuamhoon who wins the Partita Book-Tour Prize for busting Mozart into full improvisational party mode! Extra thanks to the wonderful @emmastraub, Books are Magic, and a spirited Brooklyn audience — this really felt like too much fun to be having in church.

Today Show. I used to think promoting literature on TV was like offering swimming lessons in the desert. I was so wrong. The TV-based book clubs founded by a handful of smart, well-read women have democratized literary fiction in this country, profoundly, and for that we should all be thankful. Good books are for everybody.
(Tune in if you want to hear Jenna’s “Mt. Rushmore” of authors. Still trying to picture that.)

This was some creative alchemy, talking with composer Gabriela Lena Frank about the process of making up music and literature from scratch, with moderator Ann McCutchan. I think it was at least as much fun for us as it was for the great audience in Dallas — all thanks to the Pulitzer on the Road project.

Leaving a little piece of my heart behind in San Francisco, for sure. With so many thanks to City Arts and Lectures, Green Apple Books, conversation partner Steven Winn, absolute knockout pianist Jiin Kim, and every single reader friend who joined us last night in the Sydney Goldstein Theater.
With a couple of free hours in SF, Steven and I found walking paths and good birdwatching in Crissy Field Park. And as I always do, whenever I’m near the ocean, oysters!

Apologies to Mr. S, this is the only photo I snapped of him before the bestowers of the Steinbeck Award kindly offered to wrap him up and ship him home for me, rather than add 15 lbs of bronze to my carry-on. My wholehearted thanks go to the Center for Steinbeck Studies at San Jose State University, to SJSU student pianist Crystal Liong who played for us, to Kepler’s Books (since forever), and the beautiful audience who filled Hammer Theater to the rafters last night. California rocks.

Hello Pasadena. Every audience in every city on this tour has been its own delight. (Thank you for always making me feel welcome and somewhat hilarious.) Backstage, the green room has been another whole journey. Esther Yune told me with a twinkle, “I wore this in honor of Livia’s hundred dollar black dress.” Onstage, she moved Livia’s interpretation of Mozart into new emotional territory. I’ve loved meeting so many pianists in different walks of their student or professional lives, hearing their music love stories. (Also last night, a surprise visit from old friends from Barter Theater days.)
Extra bonus; this great shot Steven took of Mt. St. Helens as we flew over. While I’m holding it together through every day’s airport security, gate numbers, keeping to schedule, foraging for at least one meal per day, and bringing my best energy to every evening show, Steven reminds me to take in the wonder of this giant continent of ours, on the fly.
