Garden Fresh Voices: New Authors at Dupont
Spring has Sprung and all the good things that come with it. Runny noses, itchy watery eyes, filling out the controlled substance form at CVS when trying to buy medicine. Of course, good things come with spring as well. Things like Farmer's markets. Hand-picking fresh fruits and veg that were grown by a farmer that loved and cared for the plants. Someone who raised them from a tiny seedling, nurtured them as they blossomed, trimmed them back where needed to make certain that the best examples of his crop make it to you, the consumer, so you could enjoy them as much as he/she did.
Now, why would I be talking to you about gardening and farming and such?
I have started a new program for the month of May. I have hand-picked a series of new authors to present at our Dupont Circle store and am calling this program Garden Fresh Voices. Much like those hard working growers, authors work their guts out putting together a story, feeding the characters, cutting back where they need to, until they have the best example they can produce. And like those growers, they depend on you to pick up the fruit of their labor, turn it over in your hands and decide if it is something you need. Picking a book is a little harder than picking an apple, so I have come up with a way to help you choose.
Our inaugural speaking engagement is on May 2ND. Jo Barrett will be reading from her first book The Men's Guide to the Women's Bathroom: A Novel. I am reading it now and it is pretty funny. The nice people at Harper Collins were so impressed with the book that they signed Jo to a 3-book deal.
Other notables authors reading for the "Garden Fresh Series" include: Alex Mindt, Annie Choi, Daniel Altman, and Marisha Pessl.
I know you are all busy and I know you are all starved for entertainment, but what could be better than coming out to a neighborhood store, enjoying a Krispy Kreeme Doughnut and hearing an author tell you about their work. The doughnuts are less than a buck (I think) and the talking part is free. Please join us as we kick off this special month of entertaining reads in our Dupont Circle store May 2ND. 7pm.
