Religion, politics and sex.
Everything we’re
not supposed to talk about in polite conversation, all in
one evening...
Come and hear Tim Wilson and Noelle McCarthy break open Wilson’s amazing first novel: Their Faces Were Shining (One of The listeners Best Books of the Year 2010) a book about a middle aged woman who’s abandoned by god after The Rapture and her highly amusing attempts to make sense of the ensuing metaphysical mayhem.
Then her daughter calls unexpectedly. She is weeping. Kids floated up through the roof in calculus class, their faces glowing with unearthly light. She sobs: "Mom, it's the Rapture."
"The Rapture?" thinks Hope, "on a Monday?"
//Tim Wilson will be doing a reading
//
//Noelle McCarthy will be throwing questions around
//
/ /the audience will get a chance to throw some of
their own //there will be a bar//
And the event is free.
Imagine that!
