Jack Pendarvis’s new novel is “Awesome”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Jack Pendarvis is a very offbeat writer with a unique sense of humor and a devoted fan base who consider his first novel “Awesome” because that is, indeed, the title. It’s rather slim, and is narrated by a giant named Awesome who wears a derby, builds robots and invents religion. Yeah, another one of those.
I hear his readings are quite delightful, and there are thee chances to verify that for yourself coming up.
Thursday night at 7 he’s the main course at a Ballroom Book Bash sponsored by A Cappella Books and The Chattahoochee Review at Highland Inn, 644 N. Highland Ave. The band Hub Cap City will also play and there will be light refreshments, so there’s a charge of $20 to come out and play.
Then Friday night at 7 he’s at Wordsmiths Books in Decatur, also doing a reading and signing.
And if you can’t make either of those, he will be at the Decatur Book Festival on Sunday, Aug. 31.
