Fall tour schedule

The summer's over, and I'll be visiting six provinces and one U.S. state this fall, to talk about freedom of speech and political correctness. I'm particularly glad I'll be going to Montreal, which I didn't visit in the spring. Here is a list of some of the public events that are in my schedule. If you're nearby, please come by to say hello.

By the way, the paperback edition of Shakedown will be released on October 27th. Not only does it look spiffy but, like all paperbacks, it's more affordable than the hard cover. My hope is that a whole new group of people -- especially students -- will pick up a copy at the new price point. As you can see, we've put Christopher Hitchens' beautiful blurb right on the front.

I've added a few pages with my take on some of the developments since the first edition -- including Jennifer Lynch's McCarthy-style enemies list, and Athanasios Hadjis's surprising ruling declaring HRC censorship illegal.

Watch for it on bookshelves!
