Ian McEwan once described promoting a book as being an employee of your former self. It’s both an enormous honor & a 24-7 spotlit hellscape for writer introverts. Lucky we are for @NK_Adjei’s wisdom on #presence during his own slog with the blazing 1st novel Chain Gang All-Stars. https://t.co/FUDyjAJOC8
