On 31 May 2016, 8-9.30 pm (UK time) Dr Kasia Boddy takes part in a twitter chat, #Bookhour, about Zero K, the new Don DeLillo novel.

Hosted by US Studies Online,  #Bookhour is an open forum twitter discussion between scholars and the public that takes place on the last Tuesday of the month.  The title selected for discussion may be a new release that is generating interest or an American classic that has been re-released in a new edition or is fast approaching an important milestone anniversary. Each discussion is guided by questions submitted by a team of scholars beforehand.
