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.
