NICK HORNBY at Seattle Public Central Library |
Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Keeping this week going at an utterly high, festival-like pitch is the one and only Nick Hornby, here from his North London home, concluding a U.S. tour for his new novel, Juliet, Naked (Riverhead). Recipient of numerous major awards—the American Academy of Arts and Letters' E.M. Forster Award, the Orange World International Writers' London Award, and more—he is the author of the novels A Long Way Down, Slam, How to Be Good, High Fidelity, and About a Boy. His soccer-infused memoir, Fever Pitch, is a longtime favorite of the discerning soccer/football reader. Juliet, Naked is a pleasure and treasure all on its own—and is on its way to print in more than twenty other languages. "Hornby returns to his roots—music, manic fandom, messy romance—in his funny and touching latest, dancing between three perspectives on fame: a sycophantic scholar, an appreciate audience member, a fabled singer-songwriter who can't see what all the fuss is about ... this is a must-read for Hornby's fans, but it also works as a surprisingly thoughtful complement to the piles of musician bios and memoirs." - Publishers Weekly. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Seattle Public Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring). Special $5 coupons for parking in the Central Library garage are available on a limited basis for those attending the program.
