A lovely interview just came out on Canada’s Book Club Buddy site: http://www.bookclubbuddy.com/2012/mira-bartok-on-the-memory-palace/

I will also be doing many events, workshops, teaching master classes and giving readings this coming year, starting with June 29th at 9:30 pm when I will be at Cinema Cabaret at the Rubin Museum in New York, introducing the much-loved film by Cocteau, Beauty and the Beast.

I will also be doing master classes all over the country so stay tuned! Also stay tuned for a new website in the fall where I will post all my comings and goings for not only The Memory Palace but for my other projects as well.
