Mark Your Damn Calendar

The lovely and talented Nick Antosca will be reading from his debut novel FIRES at Housing Works on Thursday, January 11th at 7 pm. along with the incomporable Kate Hunter. If you missed the recent readings by Kate or Nick at KGB, here's your chance to catch them both together like the dynamic duo they are. Here is the blurb they have on the Housing Works calendar:

A night of debut fiction from Iowa City’s Impetus Press, committed to offering what other small presses don’t, and what commercial publishers can’t – literary fiction with a pop edge. Two of their authors will read, Nick Antosca from his novel Fires and Kate Hunter will read from The Dream Sequence, a novella. The reading will be followed by a question-and-answer session and book signing.

Praise for The Dream Sequence: “A complex structure of narratives within narratives. Scary, mesmerizing, sometimes improbably funny, The Dream Sequence is a masterful performance.”—John Ashbery

Praise for Fires: “Fires is fantastic. It s often dark, often startlingly beautiful, and it s crammed with a smoky, foreboding atmosphere that kept pulling me along, thrilled and a little scared, toward the end.” —Scott Heim, author of Mysterious Skin and the forthcoming We Disappear

Kate and Nick are so talented and gracious it isn't even funny. So, please come out and support them-- and independent publishing.
