SEVEN CITIES, ONE TRUTH: EASY TO SLIP SPARKS LITERARY GROUNDSWELL

April 28, 2025, Miami, FL –When Easy to Slip launched its national tour this spring, few anticipated what would unfold: a groundswell of readers showing up not just to buy a book, but to listen, reflect, and share in something quietly profound. What began as a debut literary tour has evolved into a movement.

Across seven cities—Washington D.C., Palm Beach, Miami, New York City, Brentwood, West Hollywood, and La Jolla—the pattern has been unmistakable: crowded rooms, extended conversations, and emotional resonance. The kickoff at Politics & Prose sold all the books available in stock within the hour. In New York, Barnes & Noble UWS recorded its most well-attended reading in recent memory. From coast to coast, readers leaned in—not just for entertainment, but for connection.

The Return of the Listening Public

At a time when the digital world fragments attention, Easy to Slip is inviting readers back to something more intimate: shared silence, honest language, and the long-forgotten act of hearing a story together. The mood has been described as reminiscent of old-time radio, when one voice could move a crowd.

Audiences are responding to vulnerability, emotional depth, and narrative courage. In a world increasingly shaped by curated trauma and politicized truth, Easy to Slip offers something radical: a clear mirror to the self.

A Unique Story, Shared with Wit and Spontaneity

Set in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Hollywood in the 60’s and ‘70’s: a riveting, revelatory journey. Just 17, Sam Kovner starts his freshman year at Columbia, thrown into a world of academic pressure, recreational drugs, roiling testosterone, and repressed sexuality. In the dead of winter, the dorm walls fill with abusive scrawls. Voices chatter from the halls. Sam walks—36 hours straight, the insight of memory helping him to repair his inner unraveling. As Sam comes of age, his courageous narrative proves unsettling, inspiring, and utterly unique.

With the first leg of the tour complete and the second leg launching in June, Easy to Slip continues to build momentum the old-fashioned way: one reader at a time. And in a shifting literary landscape, that might be the most revolutionary act of all.
