Josh Weil read from The New Valley to an enthusiastic audience at Volume Two Bookstore in Blacksburg on Friday, September 25th. He chose Sarverville Remains for this reading, a selection he admits he rarely reads in public because of the third person voice and the mountain dialect. While these apparent obstacles might have made the author uncomfortable, he delivered a nearly flawless reading of the opening passages from the third and most potent novella in The New Valley. It was hard to tell who enjoyed the event more, the author or the audience. Read an interview with Josh Weil in the New York Times Book Blog. If you missed this event, pick up a signed copy at Volume Two Bookstore or the next reading in Charleston, WV.
