This weekend I interviewed Andrew Sean Greer at the @SoFestofBooks, and it was the hardest I’ve ever laughed on stage. If you weren’t able to be there, you can watch a recording of our conversation (in which Piggly Wiggly features prominently) online!

“Full of yearning, ponderances about art and what it means to be an artist, and self-revelation, A Scatter of Light has a simmering intensity that makes it hard to put down.”—NPR

Join Malinda Lo as we celebrate her book A SCATTER OF LIGHT at the Festival this fall!
