For Immediate Release:
SEATTLE AUTHOR DANNY BLAND IN CONVERSATION WITH JONATHAN EVISON AT FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKSTORE
SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 – SEATTLE, WA. Celebrated Seattle author Danny Bland will appear at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery on Friday, October 10 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, presenting his new book of haiku, I Apologize in Advance For the Awful Things I'm Gonna Do. Bland will engage in conversation with equally accomplished Northwest author Jonathan Evison, followed by a reading, book signing and reception.
Bland's collection of haiku—from Seattle's illustrious Sub Pop label, where he once worked—follows on the heels of his acclaimed novel, In Case We Die, published by Fantagraphics Books. His clever verse is accompanied by photographs from artist and musician Greg Dulli, who recently performed at Bumbershoot with his band Afghan Whigs. (Dulli also appeared with Bland at Fantagraphics Bookstore at the 2013 Sub Pop Silver Jubilee, reading from In Case We Die.)
Like Bland and Dulli, Jonathan Evison shares a background in music, having fronted the Bainbridge Island punk band March of Crimes that included future members of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. Evison went on to become the award-winning author of several novels, including All About Lulu, West of Here, and The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving. Look for a lively discussion between these two colorful literary figures.
Fantagraphics Bookstore is located at 1201 S. Vale Street in the heart of Seattle's historic Georgetown arts community. Open daily 11:30 to 8:00 PM, Sundays until 5:00 PM. Phone 206.658.0110
