01.14: Fred Venturini in Conversation with Chuck Palahniuk

2014-12-18 20:04:24| Powells Books Events Calendar

Dale Sampson is used to being a nonperson at his small-town Midwestern high school, picking up the scraps of his charismatic lothario of a best friend, Mack. He comforts himself with the certainty that his stellar academic record and brains will bring him the adulation that has evaded him in high school. But when an unthinkable catastrophe tears away the one girl he ever had a chance with, his life takes a bizarre turn as he discovers an inexplicable power: he can regenerate his organs and limbs. When a chance encounter brings him face to face with a girl from his past, he decides that he must use his gift to save her from a violent husband and dismal future. His quest takes him to the glitz and greed of Hollywood, and into the crosshairs of shadowy forces bent on abusing his gift. Can Dale use his power to redeem himself and those he loves, or will the one thing that finally makes him special be his demise? Fred Venturini's The Heart Does Not Grow Back (Picador) is a darkly comic, starkly original take on the superhero tale. Venturini will be joined in conversation at the event by Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club and Beautiful You. In lieu of Palahniuk joining Venturini for the signing, autographed copies of Beautiful You will be available at the event.
