We are delighted to welcome Dane Bahr, who hosted the Dock Street reading series at Phinney Books for years before moving to Bellingham, back to Seattle with his debut novel, The Houseboat. Featuring a city lawman brought to small-town Iowa to solve a disturbing crime and a feral outcast living in his own mostly-invented world, The Houseboat has already been compared by Booklist to Cormac McCarthy and Eudora Welty, and the Wall Street Journal says, “Bahr writes like a demon, with a range from deadpan humor to living horror.” Come help us welcome Dane back to town and celebrate his fiction debut!
