LOVE IN A TIME OF BELLIGERENCE

is the title of my forthcoming French book.  My French book -- I'll revel in that phrase for a while as this is my first book publication in France.  And I can't think of a better way to share its news than through this engagement I just wrote for the August issue of Galatea Resurrects (see below for contents).  My essay about the book cover and cover artist Marc Gaba is HERE -- speaking of book cover, here it is:

Isn't my new baby beautiful? I expect to receive my copies in September/October time frame -- obviously I'll let you know when it lands in the U.S.!
