09.15: Patrick deWitt
2015-08-14 23:03:15| Powells Books Events Calendar
A love story, an adventure story, a fable without a moral, and an ink-black comedy of manners, Undermajordomo Minor (Ecco) is Patrick deWitt's long-awaited follow-up to The Sisters Brothers. DeWitt's new novel is a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery, and cold-blooded murder in which every aspect of human behavior is laid bare for our hero to observe.

2014-08-18 20:39:23| Powells Books Events Calendar
Readers enter a narrative rabbit hole through bedtime stories that Mr. Fin, a man with dementia, conjures for his long-lost son. Virginia the Wolf writes her last novel to lure her daughter home. A rabbit named Hart Crane must eat words to speak, while passing zeppelins drop bombs. Mr. Fin tries to read the past in marginalia and to rebuild his son from boat parts. The haunting fables in Steven Hendricks's debut, Little Is Left to Tell (Starcherone), trace the fictions that make and unmake us.
09.15: Luke B. Goebel in Conversation with Vanessa Veselka
2014-08-18 20:39:23| Powells Books Events Calendar
In this dazzling debut about life after loss, Luke Goebel's heart-hurt, ultra-adrenalized alter ego, H. Roc, leads us on a raucous RV romp across what's left of postmodern America and beyond. Whether it's gobbling magic cacti at a native ceremony in Northern California or burning bad manuscripts in a backyard bonfire in East Texas, scene by scene, story by story, Goebel plunges us into a madly original fictional realm characterized by heartbroken psychedelic cowboys on the brink. In Fourteen Stories, None of Them Are Yours (FC2), Goebel's ingenuity, humanity, and humor streak through every page. Goebel will be joined in conversation by Vanessa Veselka, author of Zazen.
