Ken Nash, Thor Garcia & Louis Armand will be reading at the Anglo-American University Library in Prague on Friday, 13 January, at 7pm, Letenská 1 (Malá Strana). The authors will be reading from their forthcoming books The Brain Harvest (Nash), News Clown (Garcia) & Breakfast at Midnight (Armand)–due to be released from Equus Press this April.
Ken Nash has been likened to George Saunders and Donald Barthelme, and The Brain Harvest has been described by Clare Wigfall, author of The Loudest Sound and Nothing (Faber & Faber), as “Taut, intelligent, eccentric, and wholly engaging.”
Publisher’s Weekly has described Thor Garcia‘s writing as “flashy, satirical… entertaining and eminently readable.” Garcia’s TUND (LPB) was hailed in the San Diego City Beat as the strangest collection of short stories of the year (2011). News Clown was a finalist in the 2009 Amazon.com Breakthrough Novel Award.
Described as ”Robert Pinget does Canetti (in drag in Yugoslavia),” Louis Armand’s novel Clair Obscur was published by Equus in 2011. His previous novel, Menudo (Antigen), was hailed as “unrelenting, a flying wedge, an encyclopaedia of the wasteland, an uzi assault pumping desolation lead… inspiring!”
