Ficton authors Lynn Crawford and Anne K. Yoder will  present and read from their novels at Book Beat on Sunday, November 6 at 3:00 pm<\/strong>. The reading is open to the public and will be held at Book Beat, 26010 Greenfield in Oak Park.<\/p>\n

“Lynn Crawford\u2019s playful, genre-crossing spy novel Paula Regossy<\/em> is a wide-ranging work that showcases the author\u2019s ability to wear many stylistic hats, while directing a rich and varied narrative with control. She achieves these successes while rapidly changing the work\u2019s points of view, genre, narrative format, and pacing. The novel is a world of its very own, and we readers get to share in Crawford\u2019s unique vision. The novel\u2019s chapters, as the author explains in the acknowledgements, were inspired by visiting various art spaces in Detroit, and provide a key for those who want to explore the deep background of Crawford\u2019s work. But even without this knowledge, the novel stands on its own, allowing our interpretation to roam freely.” –Eric Maroney, Colorado State University<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cLynn Crawford understands better than any writer I know how profound, poignant, elegant meanings surface through our routines, our everyday lives. She is a true detective.\u201d
\n\u2014Evelyn Hampton, author of Famous Children and Famished Adults: Stories<\/em><\/p>\n

“Paula Regossy<\/em> doesn\u2019t feel at all like fantasy or academic speculation. Although in it one might feel echoes of writers from J.G.Ballard to Samuel Beckett, Paula Regossy<\/em> is very much Lynn Crawford\u2019s own marvelous creation. And just as I am in awe of the world at large, I am in awe of Paula Regossy.
\n\u2014Jose Padua, author of A Short History of Monsters<\/em><\/p>\n

The online journal ? mile<\/em><\/a> features an essay by Lynn Crawford on the evolution of Paula Regossy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Signed copies of Paula Regossy are available online at the Book Beat gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
