Check out this full interview with Nick Arvin in the Rocky. Here's a nice little nut:
Critics have compared the author's writing to that of Ernest Hemingway and Stephen Crane. His short story "Along the Highways" appeared in The New Yorker -- a coup for any emerging writer. And he's picked up many awards for Articles of War, including the Colorado Book Award and honors from the American Academy of Arts and the American Library Association." (See an extended version of the interview here, on the New West site.)
Nick's One-Book-culminating reading is at Manual High on Wednesday, Nov. 14, 7:00 PM, featuring intros by Mayor Hick and our own Poet Laureate Chris Ransick, award presentations for young writers who won the One Book writing contest, a reading by Herr Arvin, and an original guitar solo by Roger Green. All to be followed by Nick passing out, face down, on the dais after more than a solid month of book marathoning. Hope everyone can make it. Free, original entertainment on a Wednesday night.
While you're on that fabulous Rocky site, check out member Gary Schanbacher's "A" review for Migration Patterns. To wit: "Schanbacher's unflinching prose is also lyrical. With the accuracy of a laser, it lays bare the deepest emotions of the human heart."
Gary and Nick: People dig you!
