Filthy Friend: A Hero Club Novel
Gwyn McNameeEric E. MagnusonNew blogginess offered up today. After catching #FilthyFriends (and #Eyelids) @Neumos last night. Seeing #ScottMcCaughey and the whole lineup did my heart good. And still got me home early on a Thursday night. https://www.seattlegrungeredux.com/blog/2019/5/10/seeing-filthy-friends-and-feeling-damn-good-about-it

Ball Four: The Final Pitch
Jim BoutonEric E. MagnusonI was sad to learn that Jim Bouton passed away. His book #BallFour is poignant and deservedly legendary. But his life was far more interesting than just that chapter. This wonderfully written obituary by Bruce Weber seems a fitting tribute. #SeattlePilots https://nyti.ms/2NNJxkF

The Monk of Mokha
Dave EggersEric E. MagnusonBack home after hearing Dave Eggers and Mokhtar Alkhanshali (@monkofmokha) recount the astonishing journey at the heart of Dave's most recent book (The Monk of Mokha). They have incredible chemistry. What a lit event should be. I'm now hunting for Yemeni coffee whenever possible.

The Mars Room
Rachel KushnerEric E. MagnusonSpent yet another fascinating luncheon @ThirdPlaceBooks Ravenna listening to Rachel Kushner discuss "The Mars Room" and her upbringing in San Francisco's Inner Sunset.

Mad World: An Oral History of New Wave Artists and Songs That Defined the 1980s
Lori MajewskiEric E. MagnusonStunned by the thoughtful interview on @soundopinions with @LoriMajewski about 80s New Wave music. Missed her book "Mad World" when it came out in 2014. Sang along to epic 80s songs on a wet, pre-dawn walk. #Yaz #TearsforFears #DuranDuran Wonderfully retro way to start the day.

Lake Success
Gary ShteyngartEric E. MagnusonMost Worthy 2018 Book Event - @Shteyngart discussing "Lake Success" @ElliottBayBooks. A roomful of stressed out urbanites with justifiable fears of fascism got an unflinching assessment from one of the best satirical novelists with too much muscle memory from Soviet times. Ouch.

There There
Tommy OrangeEric E. MagnusonPacked house last night to hear Tommy Orange talk about his debut novel "There There" @ElliottBayBooks. Orange is charmingly unpolished, witty and unbothered by our awkward white guilt. The book's amazing and he's got massive promise. Beat the rush and pick up a copy immediately.
