Please join Mark Ernest Pothier -- one of Poets & Writers' "Get the Word Out" publicity incubator authors -- in conversation with Rebecca Handler ("Edie Richter Is Not Alone," Unnamed Press) at the book launch of his debut novel, "Outer Sunset" (University of Iowa Press) on May 18, 2023, 7 p.m., at Green Apple Books on the Park in San Francisco.
About "Outer Sunset": When a retired English teacher, divorced after thirty years and left alone in an empty nest, learns he might lose his only daughter, he wakes up to revise — or live without —his dreams in order to once again gather those he loves at one table.
“It’s rare for a novel to probe the psyches of its characters as deeply as Mark Ernest Pothier does in Outer Sunset. Many writers don’t even suspect such depths exist. They do, though, and here’s the proof.”—Richard Russo, author, Empire Falls
