It’s always a risk to invite my husband along to a reading. Most of the time, he’d rather be watching the Panthers or re-runs of “L.A. Law.” But last week, we were both in for a unusual treat at Park Road Books.

The memoir, reviewed Sunday on the Observer’s book page, is fantastic. I give it unrestrained kudos.
