T.C. Boyle to visit Cobble Hill for reading, discussion
Brooklyn BookBeat: Bestselling Author’s Latest Examines Violence in American Culture
“My art is my life,” renowned New York Times bestselling author T.C. Boyle told the Brooklyn Eagle in a recent interview. “I work every day, starting in the morning and finishing in the afternoon, after which I try to take myself out into nature.” Indeed, Boyle’s passion and discipline have paid off. He has authored 25 critically acclaimed books — among them “World’s End” and “The Tortilla Curtain” —and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Boyle will visit Brooklyn on Tuesday, March 31, to speak about his latest novel, “The Harder They Come” (Ecco, April 1, 2015) — and is well into writing a new book.
Boyle’s Brooklyn book launch will be held at BookCourt (163 Court St. in Cobble Hill) at 7 p.m. and will include a reading, audience Q&A and book signing.
Set in Northern California and rooted in actual events, “The Harder They Come” is a meditation on violence, specifically in the context of American history and culture. The text examines the connections between three damaged and explosive yet sympathetic people.
