Over the years, I have received many wonderful letters from readers, and particularly from readers who were moved to write after reading my first book The Death of the Grown-Up.

Preceding the launch of American Betrayal next week, I am inaugurating a "Reader's Corner" where I will post letters from time to time. (The new button is in the blue navigation bar above.)

The book isn't out yet but the first one  is here, a quite fascinating memoir triggered by last weekend's conversation about the book on CSPAN Book TV's "Afterwords," which, by the way, replays on Sunday, May 26 at noon ET.
