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.

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.
