SUMMARY:Summer Reading: Eteraz\, Shreve\, Khong\, Bernard + Mouton
DESCRIPTION:featuring\nAli Eteraz\ncritically acclaimed memoirist\n(Children of Dust)\,\nand author of the novel Native Believer\n“Merciless\, intellectually lacerating\, and brutally funny\, Native Believer is not merely a Gonzo panorama of Muslim America–it’s one of the most incisive novels I’ve ever read on America itself. Here\, sex\, money\, and violence all stake their claims on treacherously shifting identities–and neither love nor god is an escape.”\n–Molly Crabapple\, author of Drawing Blood \nPorter Shreve\nNew York Times notable\nauthor\, teacher\, and essayist\n(The End of the Book\, When The White House Was Ours)\n“Porter Shreve’s The End of the Book is audacious\, affecting and elegiac\, a terrific novel about a century of American letters that hums with the artist’s deep desire to last.” — Jess Walter\, author of Beautiful Ruins \nRachel Khong\n(California Sunday\, The Believer)\nExecutive Editor of Lucky Peach\nand author of the forthcoming novel\nGoodbye\, Vitamin\n“Rachel Khong’s first novel sneaks up on you — just like life\, illness and heartbreak. And love. A million small\, human and often deeply funny details gather force to tell a tale that is ultimately incredibly poignant.”\n—Miranda July\, author of The First Bad Man \nSean Bernard\nauthor of Studies in the Hereafter\nand\nDesert Sonorous\,\nwinner of the 2014 Juniper Prize\n“This collection works by stealth\, like alien lights sweeping over a desert plain. All the wreckage of American life\, Tucson style\, is here on display: the margaritas and air-conditioning\, the lost believers caught in a life most theirs the moment before it slips from their palms. What Sean Bernard does so well\, with his versatile rhythmic style\, is to get you to care about such overheated characters\, all of them aliens.”―Edie Meidav\, Juniper Prize for Fiction judge and author of Lola\, California \nTommy Mouton\npoet\, fiction writer\n& Steinbeck Fellow\nauthor of What We Do Cherish \nFree Admission\nCash Bar Exotica\nDoors at 5.30\,\nReading at 6.00
