Colfax Avenue: Peter Grandbois, the author of The Gravedigger, will read from and sign his new book The Arsenic Lobster: A Hybrid Memoir ($16.00 Spuyten Duyvil). “In The Arsenic Lobster, Peter Grandbois demonstrates a hard-won understanding of Lorca's avowal that “The true fight is with the duende.” In this formally innovative and lyrically stunning memoir, Grandbois transports us through a series of obsessions with disciplines of the utmost rigor - the sword, the guitar, the pen - until the self achieves immolation in the service of art. That trace of smoke we smell at the book's conclusion announces the baptism of a newly created thing.” –Joshua McKinney, author of The Novice Mourner and Saunter Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com
