1. Here's an interview I did on authentiticy and tourism with an editor at World Hum. One of the most re-tweeted things I've ever been part of, I have to say it is astonishing to see how inarticulate I am in print. It's all "sort of" this and "kind of" that. Ugh.

2. The first press I did for the book was an interview with Fateema Sayani at Ottawa Magazine. I'm pleased with all of it except for the godawful picture.

3. I did an interview this week with Hollie Shaw of the National Post, commenting on Pepsi's new excursion into social entrepreneurship. A twenty minute discussion gets boiled down to one short quote, sort of like maple syrup.

4. Finally, the Australian media continue to surprise me with their intriguing choices of excerpts from the book. The website Matilda recently excerpted one of my favourite passages in the book, one from the third chapter on art. It is available here.
