Go to this, If you can.

Hey folks,
In a moment of shameless promotion, I want to urge you all to go check out Willy Vlautin at Sam Weller's Books on May 5 at 6 pm. Vlautin is an incredible new author whose book Northline was the best piece of fiction that I read in 2009. My write-up on why can be found here. I am psyched to pick up his new book Lean On Pete, but unfortunately I cannot make it.

Here's the details. Check it out. Book Slave.
