Newton and the Counterfeiter News: A whole hour of me talking about the book for your pleasure
Here, via MIT World, is the video of my talk in the MIT Writer’s Series to explain the who, what, why of that book I’ve mentioned here once or twice, Newton and the Counterfeiter. (Amazon,Powells, Barnes and Noble,Indiebound and across the pond at Amazon.co.uk,Waterstones, Blackwells, Borders,John Smith & Son) Bonus video: a wonderfully generous and over the top introduction by my colleague, Junot Diaz — short story artist and novelist beyond compare, Pulitzerite and all that, and a kind man.

Newton was more involved in way more than I had ever known. Ungovernable behaviour is often where great thoughts come with.
