RYAN BOUDINOT at Richard Hugo House |
A writer who is a friend of both Elliott Bay and long active with Hugo House, Ryan Boudinot takes to the stage of the latter—a block from the bookstore—to read from his newly published second novel, Blueprints of the Afterlife (Black Cat/Grove). And what a second novel. "Take every high voltage future-shock you can imagine about life as it's shaping up in the twenty-first century, process it through one of the smartest and funniest and weirdly compassionate sensibilities you'll find on this crazy planet at this crazy moment, and you get a novel named Blueprints of the Afterlife. This guy Ryan Boudinot is the WikiLeaks of the zeitgeist." – Robert Olen Butler, joined by Tom Robbins, Jonathan Evison, Will Self, Charles Yu, and others in early praise. "Boudinot's ingenious second novel ... takes readers on a frenzied, hilarious, and paranoid trip through a hypernetworked near future. A bracing dystopian romp through contemporary dread, extrapolated." – Publishers Weekly. Free admission. Richard Hugo House is at 1634 Eleventh Avenue (11th, just north of Pine Street).
