Tuesday May 22nd, Auntie’s Bookstore will welcome authors Jim Lynch and Jess Walter to discuss Lynch’s latest book, Truth Like the Sun. The book, alternately set in the city of Seattle during the World’s Fair of 1962 and in 2001, is an urban tale of political corruption and its discovery forty years later. Jenny Shank of the Dallas News says the “…novel’s structure is clever and propulsive” and Janet Maslin of the New York Times calls Roger Morgan, the novel’s central character, a “… wonder of wonders -- an original flesh and blood creation."
Jim Lynch is a Seattle native and author of three books set
in the Pacific Northwest. His books include The
Highest Tide, Border Song and his
most recent publication, Truth Like the
Sun. He is also an award-winning journalist and has written for
publications like the Spokesman-Review and the Seattle Times.
Lynch will be joined by his friend and fellow author, Jess
Walter. Walter's books include his most recent novel, Beautiful Ruins, as well as award-winning novels The Financial Lives of Poets and The Zero. The Q&A
will begin at 7 p.m.
