Hello! I am new to the D staff. I started my job about a week ago, and I quit today, so I won't be here much longer. But I am using my very brief time here to do great deeds for you, dear readers. For example, today I'm going to tell you to buy Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget by the lovely and amazing Sarah Hepola. I've read the book twice, and you should, too. You could buy it here OR you could come to the Barnes & Noble on Northwest Highway on Thursday at 7 p.m. and meet Sarah, listen to her read a selection, and then buy the book and have the woman of the hour sign it! While you contemplate your next move, check out this interview Peter did with Sarah that appears in our July issue.
