Catch up-and-coming literary star (and Southern Illinois University professor) Rafael Frumkin as he discusses his debut novel Confidence.
Described as a queer take on the thriller genre, this page-turner limns the absurdity of the American Dream via myriad schemes and scams centered around two best friends (and occasional lovers) who found a company that offers its clients instant enlightenment.
The reading and launch party takes place this Tuesday, March 7, at 7 p.m. at Left Bank Books (399 North Euclid Avenue, 314-367-6731).
The event is free, but buying a copy of the book is a great way to support both the author and the independent bookseller. RSVPs are encouraged; more info at left-bank.com.
