My friend the novelist David Lozell Martin will be reading from his new autobiography. I'll be going to Shirlington tomorrow if anyone wants to meet up.
Busboys @ Shirlington
4251 South Campbell Ave
Arlington, VA 22206
(703) 379-9757
Author Event: David Lozell Martin
When Sunday, March 22, 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Where Shirlington Library/Busboys and Poets
Description Author David Lozell Martin will discuss and sign his most recent work, "Losing Everything: A Memoir". "Losing Everything" is less about getting lost and more about finding your way home again. In his pursuit of stability, Martin uncovered lessons that might help others who have encountered loss: take pleasure in something as small as an ampersand, keep a list of people you know who have died, meet your own death like a warrior, and be glad you don't own a monkey. Deeply personal yet surprisingly universal, Martin's story is for anyone who has wandered astray. If not a road map, his journey is a guide, providing hard-earned wisdom to illuminate the path home. Discussion will take place at Shirlington Library, followed by a book signing at Busboys and Poets.
This event is free and open to the public.

OT: Another review of Losing Everything
Here's another review of Losing Everything by my friend David Lozell Martin: "A novelist's harrowing journey," REVIEW BY PETE CROATTO, Bookpage, January 2009.
And on a more chipper note, the Post recently ran a story about Wonder Book and Video in Frederick, MD which has sold me a few comics and cartoon things over the years.

OT: David Lozell Martin's new book
My friend David Martin has a new book out, and it's reviewed by the New York Times.
LOSING EVERYTHING
By David Lozell Martin
201 pages. Simon & Schuster. $24.
David's a better writer than the Times reviewer credits him as, but I can't imagine this book was easy to write. I've only read his fiction, and I'm both looking forward to, and dreading this autobiography. I'd recommend David's books, especially Crazy Love and Pelikan, and be sure to search by his middle name as you'll get relevant results.

Sept 13 - OT: David Lozell Martin reading
My friend, novelist David Lozell Martin, has a new book out and is reading from it at Olssen's Dupont Circle on Thursday.Here's Olsson's blurb:
David Lozell Martin - Our American King, A Novel
Thursday, September 13, 2007 at 07:00 PM at Olsson's Books & Records-Dupont Circle, 1307 19th St. NW, (202) 785-1133
Dupont Circle Metro
When America fell, she fell hard. Now chaos and calamity fill the vacuum left by a collapsing federal government. Charismatic, royal, and alpha, Tazza is adored by the American people. He converts marauders to his cause, organizes scavengers to feed the hungry, and seems destined to establish a beloved and benevolent American monarchy. But Tazza cannot escape the inevitability of history, and when the federal government returns, a war ensues that sweeps across America and lasts for decades. David Martin is also the author of Lie to Me and The Crying Heart Tattoo.
The Post reviewed it recently and the review ends with, "By contrast, "Our American King" is a circus, complete with hippies, groupies, brutal Canadians, cannibalism, the decapitation of countless plutocrats and near the end, reflections on the proper relationship between people and government. Unless you object to its politics, it's a blast."
How can you pass that up? I'll be there.
