Colin Winnette, Atticus author of two forthcoming novellas, continues to spread the word about his writing all over the country while reading from his new collection of short stories, Animal Collection, published by Spork Press. After winning the Literary Death Match in San Francisco, his master skills with a mic and a copy of Animal Collection have brought him from his book launch in Tuscon, Arizona to a reading with Lydia Davis in New York. And on the plane ride over, we can be sure he sprinkled animal dreams upon the homes of some sleeping Midwestern children as well.
Held at Club Congress in Tucson, the launch was sure to be a classy affair. photo credit: Anon
