'Found' Creator to Read From Book of Not-Quite-Requited Love at Prairie Lights Tonight

Davy Rothbart, creator of "Found" magazine and "This American Life" contributor will read from his book "My Heart Is an Idiot" tonight at Prairie Lights.


Davy Rothbart, I bet my heart is even stupider than yours, and my stories about it are less charming.

Rothbart, founder of the magazine Found and contributor of This American Life will be in town tonight reading from his new book My Heart Is an Idiot, a collection personal essays about "how he [Rothbart] falls helplessly in love with pretty much every girl he meets — and rarely is the feeling reciprocated."

Rothbart is the author of the national bestseller Found, and creator of the magazine of the same name featuring a collage of found notes mailed to him from all over the place. He is also the author of the story collection The Lone Surfer of Montana, Kansas. He lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
