Live Onstage - Me!

On the evening of Sunday May 21 -- at 5:45 pm (strange time), I'll be in conversation with the erudite and charming Michael Krasny, who for many years expertly hosted the morning talk show on KQED-FM. I'll be talking of cabbages and kings, and many other things -- including my books, my love/hate relationship with Hollywood, the new wave of censorship (from the left and right), San Francisco (tech) politics, you name it -- many of the subjects we discuss here.

I don't venture out often these days -- I've been on a stage only once in the last few months. So this will be a good opportunity for us to meet and air our views.

I'm told this Author Series, which is sponsored by the Sebastopol Community Cultural Center, has featured the likes of Adam Hochschild, Isabel Allende and Michael Pollan in the past. And the proceeds from tickets -- which are on sale at seb.org -- go to a good cause.

If you're in the Russian River-Wine Country area of Northern California (or you're planning a weekend getaway), I hope to see you there.
