Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer

A Book is Born

Much of my own past week has been spent focusing on the official release of the latest book from Fig Tree Books LLC: Abigail Pogrebin’s My Jewish Year: 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew.

Mazal tov to Abby and to everyone who participated in the process of bringing this book into being, in all so many ways.

And Otherwise

Otherwise, my time’s been filled with a number of gatherings with friends; an evening at the theater; a night at a museum; helping out while my sister (a divorced mom of two) was stricken with strep; finishing up Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Refugees; and continuing my delayed binge-consumption of Homeland.

So what’s new with you?
