Imagine a city where nobody shows up for one of the most stylish novelists writing in the English language. You wouldn’t want to live in that sort of city, would you? I didn’t think so. Do your part and pop in on Jim Crace at the HWC after work. He’s come all the way from England to read from his latest, The Pesthouse. Come on, now. I challenge you to find a contemporary British novel better than Being Dead. I’m serious. If I like it better, I’ll give you $5.
