Aimee Bender’s national book tour, which coincides with the release of her new novel, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, is already under way.  Bender, who contributed to Black Clock 1 and Black Clock 7, is of that rare breed of human who reads as well as she writes.  If you missed her earlier this month in SoCal, fear not; Bender will return at the end of June and in mid-July.  Here’s the full schedule to her readings this summer:
