Today marks the release of Andrey Kurkov’s third novel with Melville House, The Case of the General’s Thumb, and we’re happy to say that we’ll be hosting Andrey for a whirlwind one-week tour of the Eastern seaboard.

It kicks off this evening at RJ Julia Booksellers in Madison, Connecticut for the official launch of The Case of the General’s Thumb and the Adopt-a-Penguin finale you’ve all been waiting for. In case you’ve forgotten, RJ Julia was the undisputed champion of the Adopt-a-Penguin promotion. We will be making the journey up to join in this momentous occasion.

Below is a list of Andrey Kurkov’s appearances for the week.
