Dalton Publishing and BookPeople Present
The 2nd Annual Dalton Gang Readings
Brought to you by the bizarre amalgam that is The Dalton Gang— seven flagrant Austin authors! The Second Annual Dalton Gang Readings features 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). 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).
