CLYDE EDGERTON
Friday, September 9 at 7:30 p.m.

Novelist Clyde Edgerton’s love of flying began when he was four years old, was nurtured during a year of flying combat reconnaissance in the Air Force during the Vietnam War, and continues today as he flies a Piper Super Cruiser. He lands here tonight—a welcome return visit—with a memoir, Solo: My Adventures in the Air (Algonquin), that is as lyrical and enticing as his novels. "Solo is a fantastic book—spellbinding, exciting, funny, informative, moving, and beautifully, beautifully written. Count me among the blessed legions of Clyde Edgerton’s fans." - Tim O’Brien. Clyde Edgerton’s previous novels include Raney, Deadeye, The Floatplane Notebooks, and Lunch at the Piccadilly.
