Square Books originally scheduled an author appearance here for Jeanine Cummins, author of the novel, American Dirt. 
When accusations of insufficient cultural identity /credibility broke out online against the author, the book’s promotional tour — including a stop here — was canceled.

Square Books has recently received a shipment of signed copies of American Dirt, and these are available to anyone interested.
