SUMMARY:Book Launch: No Vacancy by Jan Carson
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday 29th September at No Alibis Bookstore to launch Jan Carson’s new collection No Vacancy\, published by No Alibis Press. \nReserve your free place here \nAbout the book: \nWhere do touring writers go when all the books have been signed and the crowd has dispersed? To an extraordinary place of haunted pools and sacred shower curtains\, a one-eyed man in a funeral suit and a foyer of powdery-scented grandmothers. The hotel rooms in this new collection of micro-fiction by Jan Carson are\, like art\, ‘neither here nor concretely there’. Carson opens doors to the uncanny with humour tuned keenly to the strange and surreal\, but the reader is left with a profound sense of familiarity at the human condition so tenderly revealed. \nPreorder a copy here
