Reading with Michael Bourne

Come hear Michael Bourne read from his debut novel Blithedale Canyon, out July 1st from Regal House Publishing. Already named a “Most Anticipated” book by The Millions, Blithedale Canyon is set in the gentrifying suburbs of Marin County at the turn of the millennium. The novel paints a richly tragicomic portrait of twenty-something life on the brink of rock bottom.
