Walter reads from his next great novel

Jess Walter's new novel “Beautiful Ruins” has been getting some pretty impressive reviews. Here is the New York Times. Here is the Boston Globe.

And you can catch what all the fuss is about by showing up at Auntie's Bookstore when Walter shows up at 7 tonight to read from his new book. He's a former colleague of mine, and I know his stand-up comedian skills. You won't regret it.
