How does a book get made? Previewing the Dr. Radway Launch, set for tomorrow evening at Radnor Memorial Library

Tomorrow evening—Tuesday, September 17, 7 PM, Radnor Memorial Library—I will formally launch Dr. Radway's Sarsaparilla Resolvent, a story of 1871 Philadelphia. The tale of William, a poor boy trying to rescue his family, emerged from many years of research and reflection, and I'll piece some of that together through images of then and now. I will, as well, reflect on the sound of Dr. Radway, and how it differs from the sound of its companion Centennial novel, Dangerous Neighbors.

I hope you will join us.
