TONY EARLEY READING & SIGNING
One of our favorites, Tony Earley, will discuss his newest book, Mr. Tall: A Novella and Stories.
Featuring a diverse cast of characters including the skunk ape (a southern variant of Bigfoot),
the ghost of Jesse James, and a bone-tired Jack the Giant Killer, Earley exhibits the same charms
that we loved in Jim the Boy, The Blue Star, and many other of his earlier works. Publishers
Weekly says, “Earley has grown up. Even if apple orchards still conceal secrets, mountain
hollows house strange denizens, and the trains rumble reassuringly in the distance, there is
undoubtedly a hard edge to this collection... Welcome, perhaps, to the Late Earley.”
