Austinist Contributor Can Write and Read
Every so often, a literary event takes place that serves to shape a generation or initiate some sort of movement. This Tuesday, November the 21st of 2006, Austinist contributor Craig McCullough, or Truecraig as he's known in the internet 'hood, takes the stage at Club de Ville to read from his new book, I Am An Idiot (but there's nothing wrong with you). The event likely won't have the same gravity as Ginsburg's first public reading of Howl, or the release of a new Harry Potter tome, but it’s still a good chance to supplement your pre-Thanksgiving drinking with a little culture. And drinking.
I Am An Idiot is a comically rendered collection of true stories that serve to entertain the reader and tactfully illuminate the author. If you’re a fan of McCullough’s weekly Truesday column and wish you could take the insane ranting into the bathroom without risking the health of your laptop, then this book is for you. The collection is proof that without depravity, humanity just wouldn't be as interesting.
It's like we've got a regular François-Marie Arouet over here, hey-oh!
You can purchase a copy and read a preview of I Am An Idiot here.
Be at Club de Ville tomorrow night to get some oratorical pleasure from the author himself.
