Talk of the Stacks: Roy Blount Jr.
 
Blount is the author of 22 previous books, covering subjects from the Pittsburgh Steelers to Robert E. Lee to what dogs are thinking. A regular panelist on NPR’s “Wait, Wait... Don’t Tell Me“ and a member of the American Heritage Dictionary Usage Panel, his "Alphabetter Juice" is a sequel to his wildly popular "Alphabet Juice,” which uses his signature wordplay, insightful humor and linguistic skill to further explore the literality and physicality of language.

Books will be available for purchase and signing.
