Brian Kimberling, as Part of Our World Book Night Reception
Boswell Book Company, Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at 7pm
It must be spring if the great Midwestern darling Brian Kimberling returns to Boswell! You’ll won’t want to miss him reading from and discussing his stunning debut novel, Snapper, a book Margaret Atwood tweets is "Funny + adroit fiction" and Publishers Weekly calls "A catchy, well-written debut novel…an accomplished, ironic Midwest coming-of-age tale.”" You don’t want to miss Kimberling, a hilarious new voice in fiction and a charming speaker!
Nathan Lochmueller studies birds, earning just enough money to live on. He drives a glitter-festooned truck, the Gypsy Moth, and he is in love with Lola, a woman so free-spirited and mysterious she can break a man’s heart with a sigh or a shrug. Around them swirls a remarkable cast of characters: the proprietor of Fast Eddie’s Burgers & Beer, the genius behind "Thong Thursdays"; Uncle Dart, a Texan who brings his swagger to Indiana with profound and nearly devastating results; a snapping turtle with a taste for thumbs; a German shepherd who howls backup vocals; and the very charismatic state of Indiana itself. And at the center of it all is Nathan, creeping through the forest to observe the birds he loves and coming to terms with the accidental turns his life has taken.
During this event, we welcome our givers for World Book Night, which takes place on April 23rd. (added from Random House)… (more)
