Jonathan Evison

West of Here (Algonquin)

We're thrilled to have Jonathan Evison (All About Lulu) back to Skylight to read from and sign his highly anticipated new novel West of Here! We're big fans of this book, which has been getting great early buzz.  First printings are already selling out at some stores, but we're still stocked up on them for the event, so be sure to get your copy here! "A big novel about the discovery and rediscovery of nature, starting over, and the sometimes piercing reverberations of history, this is a damn fine book." --Publishers Weekly "'Epic' is yet another one of those words that's been stripped of its meaning from overuse, but no other word can properly describe this novel. I'm in awe. You will be, too." -Ron Currie, Jr., author of Everything Matters! Jonathan Evison is the author of All About Lulu, which won the Washington State Book Award. In 2009, he was the recipient of a Richard Buckley Fellowship from the Christopher Isherwood Foundation. He lives on an island in Western Washington. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS FEBRUARY 24, 2011.
