Historic LoDo: Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author Dave Barry will read from and sign his darkly comic new novel Insane City (Putnam). A destination wedding party in Florida encounters Russian gangsters, angry strippers, a pimp as big as the Death Star, a very desperate Haitian refugee on the run with her two children from some very bad men, and an eleven-foot albino Burmese python named Blossom. And there’re still two days to go before the wedding. By the end, amid gunfire, high-speed chases, and mayhem of the most unimaginable sort, violent men will fall, heroes will rise, and many lives will change. Free numbered tickets for a place in the booksigning line will be handed out beginning at 6:30 pm. Seating for the presentation prior to the signing is limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis to ticketed customers only. Can’t make it to the signing?

TONIGHT at Tattered Cover on Colfax Avenue: Author Jesse Bullington writes historical fantasy informed by his knowledge and enthusiasm for the darker parts of European folklore (and fact). "On a stormy night in 1421, the North Sea delivers a devastating blow to
Holland: the Saint Elizabeth Flood, a deluge of biblical proportions
that drowns hundreds of towns, thousands of people, and forever alters
the geography of the Low Countries. Where the factions of the noble
Hooks and the merchant Cods waged a literal class war but weeks before,
there is now only a nigh-endless expanse of grey water, a desolate
inland sea with moldering church spires jutting up like sunken
tombstones. For a land already beleaguered by generations of civil war, a
worse disaster could scarce be imagined." Bullington will be here to read from and sign his new novel The Folly of the World (Orbit), a compelling tale with a surreal twist which gives readers a taste of rebellion, violence and political machinations in the darkest corners of the fifteenth century.
