Signed Copies of At Home Available Now at M&Q

Bill Bryson was kind enough to sign copies of his new book At Home: A Short History of Private Life for M&Q when he was in town recently to read as part of the Pen Pals lecture series.

At Home is a great gift idea for almost anyone on your list. When Bryson explores his house room by room to “write a history of the world without leaving home.” The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on. Whatever happens in the world, he demonstrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.
