Brian Francis Slattery presents his new novel Lost Everything, in a launch party extravaganza accompanied by Dr. Caterwaul's Cadre of Clairvoyant Claptraps. The band will perform alongside Slattery as he, well, “reads” isn’t really the right word but it’ll do in a pinch. Jenn raves: “Lost Everything is a moving and timely meditation on war, a testament to the devotion of a father for his son, and a journey bursting with both terror and laughter.”If you were lucky enough to see his performance last time he was at WORD, you know that it's a must-see experience. There's nothing quite like witnessing an author accompany himself with a banjo as he reads from a book. And if you weren't there, we cannot recommend highly enough that you come out for this! Facebook RSVP encouraged, but not required.
