Why does it sometimes seem like Pulitzer Prize-winning authors can slip in and out of Decatur without notice?

For instance, tonight one of the modern era’s greatest historians, Gordon Wood, will be at the Decatur Library discussing his new book “Empire of Liberty” and without the note from InDecatur I would have never known about it!

I guess that can be one of the unsolved problems with “niche media”.  Without a single source, it can be hard to stay on top of stuff you have a casual interest in…especially when you think you’re already on top of it!

But worry not.  I’ve learned my lesson and joined the Georgia Center for the Book’s email list.
