UPDATE: This event has moved, and is only open to members of the Boston University community!

Something that’s been missing from my appearances page: I’ll be in Boston next Tuesday!

It’s not my usual yakking and signing at a bookstore. Instead, I’ll be one of four in a roundtable discussion of Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials. The discussion is hosted by the Luce Program of Scripture and Literary Arts at Boston University. The other panelists are Donna Freitas, a BU professor of Religion, Christine Hutchison-Jones, a PhD student at the department, and Jason King, the Chair of Religion at St. Vincent College.

Must think of smart stuff to say.

It looks like it’s going to be fun, and an interesting brain-extension to the Pullman anthology I just edited. But now I must go study for it.

Or maybe I’ll just watch video of toy maglevs.
