Launching Dr. Radway at the Radnor Memorial Library. Join us?

Earlier this summer New City Community Press/Temple University Press released a book that means so much to me—Dr. Radway's Sarsaparilla Resolvent. It's a book about poor Philadelphia in 1871, a book about Eastern State Penitentiary, Baldwin Locomotives Works, My River (notice the caps), two best friends, and an heroic blowzy named Pearl. Among other things.

Reviewers have been extremely kind, some of their thoughts here.

I'll be officially launching that book in just a few weeks at Radnor Memorial Library—reading from it for the first time, talking about it for the first time, sharing it, because that's what we do.

I hope you will consider joining us. Huge thanks to Pamela Sedor, who throws a wonderful party.
