Last week I received some great news for me – and some terrific news for Czesław Miłosz: A California Life (Heyday Books), too! We’re both finalists for the Northern California Book Awards, in the non-fiction category (I am definitely non-fiction; so is the book). And that’s an honor, too, whatever happens at the event!

So join all of us celebrating on Sunday, September 11, 2022, 2:00 pm, when the 41st annual Northern California Book Awards recognize the best published works of 2021 by Northern California authors and California translators state-wide, presented by the Northern California Book Reviewers, Poetry Flash, and San Francisco Public Library, with community partners Mechanics’ Institute Library, Women’s National Book Association-San Francisco Chapter, and Pen West. Book sales and signing will take place in the lobby of Koret Auditorium at the San Francisco Public Library on Larkin Street.

The event is free and open to the public. And I’ll be signing books, too!

More good news: I have an interview with economist Tyler Cowen of Marginal Revolution fame (we wrote about his interview with Ted Gioia here.) Go to the podcast here. It’s been getting lots of traction on Twitter. Check that out, too.

Tyler has done lots of interviews – I’m #157. Collect the whole set here.

So lots to celebrate all around, as summer slowly winds to a close.

    I caught your interview with Tyler Cowen over the weekend (it came up on my Google feed). Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the conversation and particularly the focus in The Captive Mind, which continues to be so relevant. Congratulations on making it into the finalist selection for book award (I wish I could be there for the event and get a signed copy).

    Thanks, Les. Captive Mind is endless and eternally relevant. I did a podcast on it for John Miller’s “Great Books” series on the National Review some months ago, where I hope it will get more readers. There cannot be too many.

    Thanks for the congratulations, and sorry you can’t come. Send me a book and I’ll sign it!
