We were so pleased to welcome Sheila Liming to the bookstore to discuss her book, Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time. Liming’s work shows how simple acts of casual connection are the glue that binds us together, and how community is the antidote to the disconnection and isolation that dominates contemporary life. Of Hanging Out, People magazine says "hide your phone, stop hustling for a second, and read this passionate argument for the importance of unstructured pre-digital hang."
Sheila Liming is an associate professor at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont, and the author of two previous books, What a Library Means to a Woman and Office. She has been featured in the New York Times Arts & Leisure section as well in periodicals ranging from People magazine to Bookforum and Slate. She has been a guest on the Ezra Klein show and on numerous NPR programs, as well as on KCBS San Francisco and WDET Detroit. Her essays have appeared in venues like The Atlantic, McSweeney’s, Lapham’s Quarterly, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Public Books, and The Point, among others. And Hanging Out was the answer to a Jeopardy question on May 16, 2023.
