I'm back home, with the University of Chicago Press

It is a privilege to have my current book project under contract with the UofC, my intellectual home and — in my opinion — one of the very best publication houses around. On the Street of the Hidden Shops is a metaphoric archaeology of a single block in the center of Rome. After a brief pause to celebrate this new partnership, it’s back to work, which means … back to Italy! I hope you’ll follow along with me as I dig into this fascinating urban history.
