My favorite audiobook recording is The Alchemist. The narrator is Jeremy Irons and it is the one thing I can absolutely always fall asleep to. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the entire thing. 😂

Elif Shafak! I think you’d have so much to cover from linguistics and feminism to in-group/out-group biases. But that would need a London stop on the tour 🙏

Ann Patchett in Nashville TN! She is a wonderful interviewer, (author, bookstore owner) who hosts these kinds of events all the time!!

I don’t know if she does appearances/tours but maybe Eleanor Stern would make for a good discussion partner? Her Substack focuses on “language, literature” etc. And some of her TikToks are germane to your topical terrain 😀 like the one “Linguists have identified a new English dialect emerging in South Florida.”

I've consumed both your books as audiobooks, and was happy to hear you read Wordslut bc I was so used to your voice from SLAC by then 🖖🏼 definitely love a well read audiobook. As a fan from Vienna, Austria, I can only hope for any authors to come to us 😂
