With a beautiful jacket. The official publication date is November 6. We planned that figuring it would be a typical slow news day. Kidding! But I do hope the book will be <a href=\"http:\/\/commonedge.org\/mark-lamster-on-his-new-biography-of-philip-johnson\/\">something of an antidote<\/a> to the current political madness, although I think it also helps to explain it, and the parallels to this moment in Johnson&#8217;s and American history <a href=\"https:\/\/harvardmagazine.com\/2018\/11\/the-man-in-the-glass-house-mark-lamster\">are pretty stark<\/a>. I will be doing a good bit of speaking over the next few months to talk about the book, and more generally architecture and criticism, and I would be thrilled for anyone who takes the time out of their schedule to join me.
