A McSweeney’s Book Reading | Green Apple Books

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Green Apple Books welcome two debut novelists, James Hannaham and Jessica Anthony, to our Side Room Series, both published by McSweeney’s. Now it’s notoriously hard to draw a crowd for first-time novelists, but it’s also your chance to be the first to say “I read that. I met them.” And the McSweeney’s reputation precedes these two gifted writers, so you’ll come, right?

James Hannaham’s GOD SAYS NO introduces a groundbreaking new American voice: a writer of spectacular sentences who has trained his sights on a world that has hardly been touched by literary fiction. Topical and ambitious, disturbing and hilarious, GOD SAYS NO is everything a person could ask of a first novel — and twice that much. ”
—Jennifer Egan, author of Look at Me and The Keep

And Jessica Anthony’s debut novel The Convalescent was praised in Publisher’s Weekly as follows: “Anthony’s style—funny, immediate and unapologetically cerebral—carves out a space all its own.”
