Just one week 'til the fall edition of Verse Chapter Verse,
The Stranger's music-and-reading series. I'll be interviewing the great Colson Whitehead about his
fabulous new zombie novel Zone One, he'll be reading from the book, signing body parts, and answering your questions. (The
great reviews
of Zone One are already
pouring* in.) and Your New Favorite Local Band, the Curious Mystery, will play a set before and after.
It's going to be a lot of fun. Get your ticketsâjust $5âright here.
* Get a load of this line, from Ron Charles at the Washington Post: "Itâs a remarkable episode, drenched in the matinee carnage of classic horror but elevated by the power of Whiteheadâs prose to the level of those other ash-covered nightmares imagined by T.S. Eliot, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Cormac McCarthy."
