City Lights Bookstore and The Jackson County Public Library will host David Joy for the launch of his new book on Tuesday, August 1st, at 6 p.m. The book launch will be in the Jackson County Public Library Community Room. He will be in conversation with Leah Hampton, author of F*ckFace.
S.A. Cosby, the author of Blacktop Wasteland and All the Sinners Bleed, said of Joy’s fifth novel, " Those We Thought We Knew, is a beautifully fearless contemplation. The best novels ask the hard questions and task us to come up with answers. Joy is asking the hardest question and daring us to answer truthfully."
David Joy is the author of When These Mountains Burn (winner of the 2020 Dashiell Hammett Award), The Line That Held Us (winner of the 2018 SIBA Book Prize), The Weight of This World, and Where All Light Tends to Go (Edgar finalist for Best First Novel). Joy lives in Tuckasegee, North Carolina. To reserve copies, please call City Lights Bookstore in Sylva, NC, at 828-586-9499
