We're excited to be teaming up with McSweeney's, Litquake, and the Jewish Community Center for the evening on 10/5 in honor of Adam Levin's debut novel, The Instructions, and the recent release of McSweeney's 35.
The Instructions, one of New York magazine's 20 most anticipated books of the Fall, is an absolutely singular work of fiction by an important new talent. Combining the crackling voice of Philip Roth with the encyclopedic mind of David Foster Wallace, Adam Levin has shaped a world driven equally by moral fervor and slapstick comedy — a novel that is muscular and verbose, troubling and empathetic, monumental, breakneck, romantic, and unforgettable. An already well-worn copy of this novel has been making the rounds with the Green Apple staff, and is certainly earning our highest reccomendation.
McSweeney's 35 features tremendous new stories from Steven Millhauser and Roddy Doyle, a genre-shattering novella from Hilton Als, and a really excellent special section on Norway's finest writers (featuring Per Petterson and the lesser-known Kid Icarus and Blind Margjit.)
This event will include readings, signings, meetings, greetings, and a general good time. We'll see you there.
