Book Group Extravaganza!

The Song is You (Random House, April 2009) by Arthur Phillips

Novel, booze, soundtrack CD, and author in one convenient package!

PS 29 dad and best-selling author Arthur Phillips ("One of the best writers in America" - The Washington Post) will provide 5 free, signed copies of his new novel THE SONG IS YOU (available April 7), as well as the book's home-made soundtrack CD (the novel is all about music).  Then, on a date of your book club's choosing, he will turn up with six bottles of wine (he promises to share) and a thick skin.  You can ask him questions, engage in spirited literary high-falutin' chitchat, ignore him while he serves the wine and sits quietly in the back, or even tell him you didn't like the book.  (Very few authors can tolerate this, but he seems to thrive on it.)  Come on, book-loving 29ers, dig deep for this unique opportunity to have the horse's mouth right in your own home.  (Not to worry - he's been called worse than that.)

About THE SONG IS YOU:
Publishers Weekly called it "enthralling...brilliant...triumphant."  (Pay no mind to those ellipses).  You can read more about the novel HERE.
