On Friday, October 12, the charming
Barry Webster was here at the store to launch his newest book, the sumptuous and surprising
The Lava in My Bones (Arsenal Pulp Press).
Friends and fans gathered to hear Barry read and briefly discuss some excerpts from the novel. We learned of honey sweats, the unexpected sensuality of bees, and the art of writing just enough but not too much in the voice of a character you can't stand (in this case, an uptight and controlling Swiss man who finds himself haunted incessantly by the hovering eyes of his ex-lover - "
Scheiss! Verdammung!"), among other things.
There were refreshments, there was book signing - it was a lovely evening!
If you didn't make it out to the event, we still have
The Lava in My Bones in store!
