STEVEN HALL
Wednesday, May 2 at 8 p.m.

One of the most highly touted fiction debuts of the year gets a hearing tonight as Steven Hall visits from his London home to read from his dark tale of laughter and remembering, The Raw Shark Texts (Canongate). Many things happen here, some not of this dimension. "Jaws meets Alice in Wonderland...The Raw Shark Texts is an avant-garde thriller in which these devil-fish of the unconscious somehow escape the symbolic realm." - Times Literary Supplement. "The most original reading experience of the year...A novel that genuinely isn't like anything you have ever read before." - The Independent. "The bastard love child of The Matrix, Jaws, and The DaVinci Code. Very entertaining." - Mark Haddon.
