No Coast gets Scorched
You wanna know what’s gonna be crazy? Featherproof’s Chicago release party for SCORCH ATLAS by Atlanta-based language-mangler, Blake Butler. His debut collection has received piles of praise, and Blake is making his way back to the city of Olympic loss for a night of reading, celebration, and general debauchery.
Amelia Gray, author of AM/PM, will join him. And if you saw, heard rumors about, or viewed pictures from this summer’s Dollar Store Super Tour you know that when these two get together to read, things get crazy. Like fortune-tellin, hair-humpin, whiskey-decision, bicycle birthday crazy. They will be joined by the power of Sam Pink and Kathryn Regina. And then crazy music fun. If you haven’t been to the rad bookstore that is No Coast, now’s the time. So bring your pig mask. This ain’t your mom’s book club reading.
