The Sheikh's Batmobile: In Pursuit of American Pop Culture in the Muslim World SXSW Reading

3 years ago

For those of you heading down to this year's SXSW, I'm doing the inaugural reading from my book on Tuesday, March 17, at 12:30pm.

If there are any Toronto peeps in the audience, maybe we can gorge on TexMex and beer following the reading.
