For friends and readers in the Washington, DC area, David Dow will have a reading and book signing at Politics & Prose -- one of the great independent, neighborhood bookstores in the nation -- Saturday afternoon. It will be from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. It's the last of his scheduled author events.
The details are here.
Litigation director of the Texas Defender Service, a professor at the University of Houston Law Center, and a staunch opponent of the death penalty, Dow has written a powerful account of capital punishment. His memoir offers an intimate look at all parties involved, from the overworked legal aid lawyers to their clients.
Politics & Prose is located at 5015 Connecticut Ave., NW in the District.
I'm hoping that C-SPAN will tape the event for later broadcast on Book TV. Politics & Prose makes its own audio recordings of the book events for sale.
If you cannot attend the reading, the helpful, friendly staff would be happy to get a copy signed for you for pickup or mailing. Contact info is at the bottom of this page.
