Old Books on Front St Flier IMAGEI am honored to announce that I’ll be reading with two of my favorite contemporary writers at Old Books on Front Street on September 21 at 7 pm.  Here’s the lineup:

  • Erik Shonkwiler:  author of Above All Men and “bastard love child of McCarthy, Hemingway, and Faulkner.” You can read my glowing review of Eric’s novel here.
  • Schuler Benson:  author of The Poor Man’s Guide to an Affordable, Painless Suicide and “the spawn of Chuck Palahniuk and Barry Hannah.” I myself have called him the most “thrilling and fearless voice since Barry Hannah.” You can read my review of Schuler’s book here.
  • Taylor Brown:  yours truly.

Old Books on Front Street is a Wilmington institution, located at 249 North Front Street in Wilmington, NC.
