SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Bill Cotter & The Grown Up Lady Story Company
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and The Booksellers at Laurelwood present visiting writer Bill Cotter and The Grown Up Lady Story Company \nThe author will read from his most recent novel “The Parallel Apartments” \n\n\nJustine Moppett is 34\, pregnant\, and fleeing an abusive relationship in New York to dig up an even more traumatic childhood in Austin. Waiting for her there is a cast of more than a dozen misfits — a hemophobic aspiring serial killer\, a deranged soprano opera singer\, a debt-addicted entrepreneur-cum-madam\, a matchmaking hermaphrodite — each hurtling toward their own calamities\, and\, ultimately\, toward each other. A Texan Gabriel Garcia Marquez who writes tragicomic twists reminiscent of John Kennedy Toole\, Bill Cotter produces some of the most visceral\, absurd\, and downright hilarious sentences to be found in fiction today. “The Parallel Apartments” is a bold leap forward for a writer whose protean talents\, whose sheer exuberance for language and what a novel can do\, marks him as one of the most exciting stylists in America.Bill Cotter was born in Dallas in 1964 and has worked as an antiquarian book dealer and restorer since 2000. He lives in Austin\, TX\, with the storyteller Annie La Ganga. His first novel was “Fever Chart.” \n\n\n\nhttp://www.grownupladystorycompany.com/

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer James Scott
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a reading of “The Kept” and conversation with the writer and WKNO’s Justin Willingham \nBooksigning to follow\nFree admission \nRecent review in the New York Times \n“James Scott has written a riveting and memorable debut novel.” \n—Tom Perrotta\, author of “Little Children” and “Election” \n“Scott is both compassionate moralist and master storyteller in this outstanding debut.” \n—Kirkus\, ★ starred review \n“By the end of the book\, you’ll be convinced that [Scott] can do just about anything.” \n—Kevin Wilson\, author of “The Family Fang” \nIn the winter of 1897\, Elspeth Howell treks across miles of snow and ice to the isolated farmstead in upstate New York where she and her husband have raised their five children. Her midwife’s salary is tucked into the toes of her boots\, and her pack is full of gifts for her family. But as she crests the final hill\, and sees her darkened house and a smokeless chimney\, immediately she knows that an unthinkable crime has destroyed the life she so carefully built. Her lone comfort is her twelve-year-old son\, Caleb\, who joins her in mourning the tragedy and planning its reprisal. Their long journey leads them to a rough-hewn lake town\, defined by the violence both of its landscape and of its inhabitants. There Caleb is forced into a brutal adulthood\, as he slowly discovers truths about his family he never suspected\, and Elspeth must confront the terrible urges and unceasing temptations that have haunted her for years. Throughout it all\, the love between mother and son serves as the only shield against a merciless world.                          \nWKNO’s Book Club Pick \n \n

SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Margaret Wrinkle
DESCRIPTION:Reading and Discussion of Wash: a novel with award-winning author Margaret Wrinkle\, accompanied by an exhibition of photography by the artist and a reception \n  \nSponsored by V02 Networx\nWash\, written by Margaret Wrinkle\, reexamines slavery in ways that challenge contemporary assumptions about race\, history and power as it carries the reader from the American South to West Africa and deep into the ancestral stories that reside in the soul. \nCrosstown Arts will host Margaret Wrinkle on the evening of Tuesday\, October 15\, for a reading of Wash\, followed by a conversation between the artist and Ladrica Menson-Furr (Director of African and African American Studies at the University of Memphis).  The reading will be accompanied by an installation of Wrinkle’s photography and a reception. A booksigning will follow the discussion. \nPublished by Grove/Atlantic and accompanied by an exhibition of photographs\, Wash has been short listed for the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize and for the Crook’s Corner Prize for exceptional debut novels set in the American South. \nBorn and raised in Birmingham\, Alabama\, Margaret Wrinkle is a writer\, filmmaker\, educator and visual artist.  Her award-winning documentary\,broken\ground\, about the racial divide in her historically conflicted hometown\, was featured on NPR’s Morning Edition and was a winner of the National Council on Foundations’ Film Festival. \nCopies of Wash will be for sale. \nLearn more at margaretwrinkle.com \nPress and Praise:\n \n\n“Wrinkle’s tender first novel…is both redemptive and affirming.”\nThe New York Times Editor’s Choice  (pdf) \n“A masterly literary work….This debut occasions celebration. Haunting\, tender and superbly measured\, Wash is both redemptive and affirming.”\nThe New York Times Book Review  (pdf) \n\n“The voices of the past cannot speak for themselves and must rely on the artists of the future to honor them. It’s a profound responsibility and one that Margaret Wrinkle meets in her brilliant novel\, Wash.”\nThe Wall Street Journal  (pdf) \n“Never has a fictionalized window into the relationship between slave and master opened onto such believable territory….Wash unfolds like a dreamy\, impressionistic landscape….[A] luminous book.”\nThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution  (pdf) \n“Books like William Styron’s The Confessions of Nat Turner\, Toni Morrison’s Beloved\, Edward P. Jones’ The Known World\, and Russell Banks’ Cloudsplitter form a kind of Truth and Reconciliation Commission of their own. Add Margaret Wrinkle’s Wash to that illustrious company.”\nThe Dallas Morning News  (pdf)\n \n“…Wash achieves something extraordinary: a full-fledged confrontation with one of the most difficult aspects of our nation’s history… Wrinkle has given us an honest and important expression of hope… a firm foothold that leads in the direction of truth and reconciliation. We would do well to take this step.”\nThe Charleston Post and Courier  (pdf) \n“A marvel. By turns grim and lyrical\, heart-wrenching and hopeful.”\nPeople (4 stars; a People Pick) (pdf) \n  \n
