Hawthorne Books Roundup Pt. 2
Sometimes we like to put out a spread — a smorgasbord if you will of everything going on here at Hawthorne Books. With such a diverse and interesting list of titles and authors it’s hard to keep track of all the good things going on. These roundups are a way for us to take stock and appreciate all that we’ve got. And share it with you, of course.
LORETTA STINSON & LITTLE GREEN
Loretta Stinson has been doing all sorts of book events and interviews for Little Green since it came out on June 1st. The next big dates on the horizon are late August when she sets off for the Bay Area with readings at Green Apple Books on Wednesday, Aug. 25th and at Book Passage on Thursday, August 26th. We’re hammering out the details at the moment but we know that the San Francisco Domestic Violence Consortium will be participating in the Green Apple event and we’ve got some other things brewing in the area as well with various domestic violence organizations and crisis centers.
Check out this Literary Arts interview with Loretta here.
FRANK MEEINK ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL’S GANGLAND
Frank Meeink of Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead has been busy with all sorts of projects. In the middle of his 20-plus city book tour this spring/summer he took time to film this History Channel segment that airs Friday night….
COVER SET FOR LIDIA YUKNAVITCH’S CHRONOLOGY OF WATER
We’re so pleased with the drop dead gorgeous final cover for Lidia Yuknavitch’s upcoming spring 2011 Hawthorne Books title The Chronology of Water — designed by Adam McIsaac at Pinch. And just so you know, there will be a book belly band available for booksellers concerned with the nudity.
SCOTT NADELSON & PLOUGHSHARES
Scott Nadelson’s short story collection Aftermath will be published by us next summer but in the meantime Scott has been busy teaching at Willamette University and, of course, writing, writing and more writing. Ploughshares published Nadelson’s Dolph Shayes’s Broken Arm in its spring 2010 issue guest-edited by Elizabeth Strout and you can read the story in its entirety on their site.
