I couldn’t quite believe that CSPAN2 was going to broadcast live the events at the Madison Public Library on Saturday, or I’d have spent the time on the airplane preparing my spiel instead of reading Joanna Rakoff’s “My Salinger Year.” Thank you to Conor Moran, who invited me, and to Nancy Holyoke, who put me up (and put up with me), and to everyone who came to my talk at high noon on Saturday.

Wisconsin is beautiful. My only regret is that I forgot to stock up on cheese curd.

You can watch the whole thing here, complete with gaffes. I left out all the profanity, in deference to … what?
