Virginia Postrel

WELCOME

Welcome to VPostrel.com, the new site for all my work. (Old links to Dynamist.com still work, but they’re forwarded here instead.) We're still working out a few bugs, so if you run into any glitches, please let me know. You can email me at vp at vpostrel.com or use the "Contact" form. If you are trying to sell me SEO services, please go away and leave me alone.

The occasion for the new site is the publication of my new book The Power of Glamour: Longing and the Art of Visual Persuasion. Read more about the book here. Follow me on Twitter @vpostrel, "like" me on Facebook, and join my email list by clicking here.
