SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Mark Z. Danielewski
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Join us for your chance to meet author Mark Z. Danielewski at the ARL’s new Second Chance Ranch!” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]About the Book:  \nFrom the bestselling author of House of Leaves comes a magisterial novel about two friends determined to rescue a pair of horses set for slaughter. \nWhile folks still like to focus on the crimes that shocked the small city of Orvop\, Utah\, back in the fall of 1982\, not to mention the trials that followed\, far more remember the adventure that took place beyond municipal lines. \nFor sure\, no one expected the dead to rise\, but they did. No one expected the mountain to fall either\, but it did. No one expected an act of courage so great\, and likewise so appalling\, that it still staggers the heart and mind of anyone who knows anything about the Katanogos massif\, to say nothing of Pillars Meadow. \nAs one Orvop high school teacher described that extraordinary feat just days before she died\, Fer sure no one expected Kalin March to look Old Porch in the eye and tell him: You get what you deserve when you ride with cowards. \nBook Signing Guidelines: Mark will be happy to sign books purchased from Beaverdale Books\, plus a copy of Tom’s Crossing that you might bring along. \nBooks will be available for purchase at the event. \nThis event is hosted by Beaverdale Books. \n  \nThis is a free event but we ask that you please RSVP using the link below. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_cta h2=”” h4=”Disclaimer:” css=””]By entering an event or program of the ARL\, you are entering an area where photography\, audio and video recording may occur.
