/ / For The Win, News


I’ve just hit San Francisco on my book tour for For the Win, and I’m doing three stops in the Bay Area:

Tonight (Monday), I’m at Borderlands Books in the Mission, reading and taking questions at 7PM

Tuesday, I’m at Books Inc in Palo Alto, as part of the Not Your Mother’s BookClub event, starting at 7PM.

Wednesday, I wrap up with a fantastic EFF benefit at the 111 Minna Gallery at 730PM.

After this, I head on Austin, where the EFF-Austin folks are planning an event in conjunction with BookPeople on Thursday, then I’m in Raleigh and Chapel Hill, then New York and Brooklyn, and finally finishing in my home town, Toronto, on June 4.

Regardless of your own political views, what Doctorow writes is important, and his stories are fast-paced and informative… For The Win is worthy.

Jeff Clark sez, “I’ve created a graphic from the text of ‘Makers’ that shows the distribution of the various proper nouns in your work. It seems to do a pretty good job of communicating the ebb and flow of the various characters throughout the book.”

This works amazingly well — I’ve never seen an automated text analysis that was so revealing of the emotional and plot elements of a book!
