I’ll be in conversation with my friend Justin Taylor to celebrate the paperback of his acclaimed novel Reboot (Vintage). This will be an off-site with Rough Draft Bar & Books, held at Brunette wine bar.

Reboot is a comic marvel. Sure, I’m biased. Perhaps the New York Times will convince you: “[Taylor’s] book is, in part, a performance of culture, a mirror of America complete with its own highly imagined myths . . . . It’s a performance of wit and rigor freed of the familiar polarizing semantics, making legible . . . just how much conspiracy theory and pop culture have fused. Not just QAnon and Russiagate, but Kate Middleton and Birds Aren’t Real.”

About Justin: He’s the author of the novel The Gospel of Anarchy, the story collections Everything Here Is the Best Thing Ever and Flings; and the memoir Riding with the Ghost, His work has appeared in The New Yorker, Harper’s, Bookforum, and the Oxford American. He is a contributing writer to The Washington Post Book World and the director of the Sewanee School of Letters. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
