Jonathan Evison

The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving (Algonquin Books)

Jonathan Evison, author of the novels West of Here and All About Lulu (both Skylight staff picks), returns to Skylight to read and sign his new book, The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving. “The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving is the funniest and most tough-minded novel I’ve read in a long time. Jonathan Evison is a great lyrical talent who deserves to be better known, and this is his best novel yet. You owe it to yourself to read it.” —Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life “Jonathan Evison is a gifted raconteur with a wicked sense of humor and an unflagging empathy for humankind in all its sad, foible-filled magnificence. In The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving, his myriad talents are displayed in full bloom.” —Patrick DeWitt, author of The Sisters Brothers Jonathan Evison is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel West of Here and 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.
