Evan Guilford-Blake Book Launch and Reading

During their Open Mic Night on Saturday, October 17, Atlanta Vintage Books will be hosting a book launch for Evan Guilford-Blake's "Animation". He will be reading from it and will be available for signing copies. 

What do you do if you’re 53 years old, your ex-wife says you look like Joe Pesci and you’ve just lost your job? Well, if you’re Adonis Augustinius Agystyn -- usually called “Aggie” -- you sit in your one bedroom Chicago apartment, watch TV and eat rib tips at the nearby fast food restaurant. Until, one day you meet someone who you think can change your life -- except she’s a 19 year old single mom with a sick baby and a sicker mother, and the two of you have absolutely nothing in common.

"Animation" is the sometimes comic, sometimes poignant story of a man in search of the meaning of his life and of life itself, the detours he must navigate and the hurdles he must -- try -- to clear in order to answer the eternal question: What Is My Life About? Evan's short story "The Invasion" appeared in Verto Publishing's In the Trenches. In early 2016, Verto will be publishing a collection of short stories written by Evan and titled Love and Loss and Love.
