David Mitchell "Slade House" ReadingLiterati BookstoreSaturday, November 7, 2015 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (EST) |  |
Event Details
Literati is pleased to welcome David Mitchell to Ann Arbor to read from his latest novel, Slade House. The event will take place in the sanctuary of First United Methodist Church, with co-sponsorship from the University of Michigan Helen Zell Writers' Program. After the reading, David will be in-conversation with Zell Writers' Program faculty member and author Peter Ho Davies. A book signing will follow.
Down the road from a working-class British pub, along the brick wall of a narrow alley, if the conditions are exactly right, you’ll find the entrance to Slade House: a surreal place where visitors see what they want to see, including some things that should be impossible. Every nine years, the house’s residents—an odd brother and sister—extend a unique invitation to someone who’s different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a divorced policeman, a shy college student. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it’s already too late. . . .
Spanning five decades, from the last days of the 1970s to the present, leaping genres, and barreling toward an astonishing conclusion, this intricately woven novel will pull you into a reality-warping new vision of the haunted house story—as only David Mitchell could imagine it.
