Most independent bookstore clerks were happily surprised when Soft Skull novelist Matthew Sharpe’s The Sleeping Father was picked for “The Today Show” Book Club. It’s not every day that an irreverent literary dramedy about illness and teen sex lands on the bestseller lists. If Sharpe’s new novel Jamestown is anything like its predecessor, I’m devestated I don’t yet have a copy. Sharpe reads with Chicago residents Elizabeth Crane (movie-optioned fiction writer and favorite teacher of my friend Sarah) and Anne Elizabeth Moore (zine expert and co-editor of Punk Planet).
