September 18 - 8:00 p.m., Southern CT State, Engleman Hall D253, New Haven, CT
R. Clifton Spargo reads from Beautiful fools followed by Q&A and book signing.
Briefly, here's some of the summer buzz<http://beautifulfoolsthenovel.com/press-and-praise> around Beautiful Fools in its first months.   The novel has been strongly reviewed in The New Yorker<http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2013/05/saving-zelda-fitzgerald.html>, The Washington Post, Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323335404578444572229448196.html>, the Miami New Times<http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/cultist/2013/05/the_great_gatsby_in_cuba_autho.php>, and TLS, which said:
'This is historical fiction at its best, imaginatively filling the gaps and bringing us intimately into a portrait of marriage.'
Other prominent features include The Huffington Post, British Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The Chicago Tribune, The Guardian, and the London Sunday Time.
