Christopher
Bram read from EXILES IN AMERICA at Calamus Bookstore,
Friday, October 6th. A lively conversation ensued. We have
signed hardcovers.
On
December 3, Calamus Bookstore hosted an exhibition of the new
paintings by local author and artist JOE HAYES, just as we
did last year. It was well attended and there was
enthusiasm for his new work. Joe's show will hang in the store
through January, 2006. More information about the work of Joe
Hayes, including pricing, is available at his
web site
JOE
HAYES, once again, gave a delightful reading at Calamus, this
time from his latest, NOW BATTING FOR BOSTON, which has
quickly become our best selling title of 2005. Joe discussed
his work after the reading with many people who bought his
book; he's featured here, left, in conversation with author
JOHNLAURITSEN. We have signed copies.
NOW BATTING FOR BOSTON is a
trade paperback from Harrington Park Press, $16.95
We were delighted to host a
reading on June 17th with local author IORY
ALLISON, who read a selection from his recent novel, THE
FAMILY JEWELS, as well as a chapter from the next in what he
proposes to be a trilogy, GLAMOUR GALORE.
It was one of our best
attended events and, to coin a phrase, a good time was had by all.
We have signed copies of THE FAMILY JEWELS, $17.95
On Saturday, April 2nd, Felice Picano
appeared at Calamus and read from his new book, FRED IN LOVE.
He also read from a work-in-progress which is part of his next
installment of his memoir. It was a very amusing story about Key
West, James Kirkwood, James Leo Herlihy and Tennessee Williams
and, when they story gets to New York, a funny encounter between
Williams and Picano in which TW tells FP that he'd based a
character on him in a story, solely on the basis of accounts told
him by a handsome male nurse they both knew.
We have signed
copies of the first edition of FRED IN LOVE as well as
other of Picano's titles.
