Maybe some European events to follow? Book not actually out yet, I think?   Simon Withers Member Username: Sfwithers Post Number: 920 Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Thursday, April 09, 2026 - 09:08 pm:    Just pre-ordered (or ordered...) a signed copy from Rough trade in the UK.

My copy of Robert's novel has been wandering around Melbourne for almost two weeks since being stopped at the Melbourne Airport due to Trump's tariffs. I did notice that the reviewer was born in 1993 - "kids these days."
