As you probably already know, the Time magazine approved “Great American Novelist” Jonathan Franzen is kicking off his international book tour with an appearance at the Decatur Book Festival. If you want to be part of this little moment in literary history, though, you’ll need to pick up a ticket at your local bookstore before the date rolls around. Tickets are free, but when I stopped in East Atlanta’s Bound to be Read Books this afternoon to pick up a couple for myself, the bookseller told me that their stack of tickets had been cut in half since Franzen’s cover-boy media blitz.

You can find tickets at any of these bookstores:

Agnes Scott College
Charis Books
Blue Elephant Book Shop
Bound to Be Read
Eagle Eye Books
Little Shop of Stories

Jonathan Franzen reads at Presser Hall, Agnes Scott College as part of the Decatur Book Festival on Friday, September 3 at 8 pm.
