Author Talk with Colin Thompson, Author of The Spoils
Apr 147:00 pm -

“THE SPOILS is a glorious meditation on failure, missed opportunities, and making your own wins. It’s about art and beauty and athleticism and other people’s wives…Colin Thompson has written an unapologetic and unforgettable narrator: he’s lovable and wrongheaded, frenetic and full of restless exuberance. He’s scathingly funny and outrageously inappropriate, a guy with a good heart who can’t catch a break.” – Kimberly King Parsons (author of Blacklight & We Were The Universe)
Join local author Colin Thompson for a talk on his debut novel, The Spoils. Copies of the book will be available to purchase.
