7PM. Atomic Books.
Hampden, Baltimore.
To celebrate the release of his new book SO SAY THE WAITERS, the Atomic Fiction Series will host a conversation with author Justin Sirois and special-guest poet Adam Robinson as part of our Hampden Holidays Five First Fridays celebration (every Friday leading up to Christmas is a neighborhood-wide First Friday party).
"So Say the Waiters could easily be the next Repo Man." - The Baltimore Chop
“As a reader, I’m always looking to get lost in a story, to open a book, turn one page and then another, and find myself unable to put it down. So Say the Waiters achieves this in spades. Sirois has created a dazzlingly raucous and fast-paced world, filled with characters that are relatable yet still capable of remarkable surprise. You have to read this.” - Laura van den Berg, author of What the World Will Look Like When All the Water Leaves Us
