DEBUT LIT will host its first release party in Seattle for Josh Weil’s debut novel, The New Valley, from Grove Press. Weil will be joined by Mark Cooper, who will celebrate the publication of his first book-length comic, The Inspectre.
Both authors will read excerpts of their new books, and illustrations from each publication will be on display.
Saturday, June 20
Event starts at 7 pm; reading at 7:30 pm
Vermillion, Seattle
1508 11th Ave at East Pike Street (21+)
The event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase at a discounted price, and a short reading by both authors will be followed by a book signing and party.
From the New York Times review of The New Valley:
“Weil meticulously imagines people and their histories, and presents them as a product of their places. This is perhaps the hardest thing for a fiction writer of any age, working in any form, to accomplish.”
About The Inspectre:
“The Inspectre” is the first booklength publication by Pacific Northwest writing and illustrating duo, Mark Cooper and Allen Gladfelter, creators of the serial comic strip, “Intrepid Events.”
