Latest News: The Dalton Gang– Back in Action!

June 30, 2008

Dalton Publishing returns to BookPeople on Tuesday, July 15 for a night of fine-tuned wit and creative word. This second annual event will kick off at 7pm and will showcase none other than seven fearless Austin authors of the Dalton Gang.

The gathering includes: the dangerous yet delicate poetics of W. Joe Hoppe (Galvanized); the poignant and riotous humor of Owen Egerton (How Best to Avoid Dying); Les McGehee’s improvisational genius (Plays Well With Others); and Joe O’Connell’s resilient wisdom of happenstance and finality (Evacuation Plan, a novel from the hospice). As if that weren’t enough—readings ensue from authors of upcoming titles—the fantastical realities of Robert Stikmanz (Entranscing); the through-it-all brilliance of Ric Williams (Woman in the Tower); and the esteemed histories of Gary Kent (Shadows & Light / Journeys with Outlaws in Revolutionary Hollywood).

And, considering the eclectic collection of authors that is the Dalton Gang, it’s hard to say what else the night will bring.
