Litquake is proud to present the Bay Area launch of Joshua Mohr's newest novel, All This Life. In conversation with Jack Boulware, with audience Q&A, and book sales and signing to follow. Co-presented by Green Apple Books.
Morning rush hour on the Golden Gate Bridge. Amidst the river of metal and glass a shocking event occurs, leaving those who witnessed it desperately looking for answers, most notably one man and his son Jake, who captured the event and uploaded it to the internet for all the world to experience. As the media swarms over the story, Jake will face the ramifications of his actions as he learns the perils of our modern disconnect between the real world and the world we create on line.
With a wide cast of characters and an exciting pace that mimics the speed of our modern, all-too-connected lives, All This Life examines the dangerous intersection of reality and the imaginary, where coding and technology seek to highlight and augment our already flawed human connections. Using his trademark talent for creating memorable characters, with a deep insight into language and how it can be twisted to alter reality, Joshua Mohr returns with his most contemporary and insightful novel yet.
Joshua Mohr is the bestselling author of five novels, including Damascus, which The New York Times called "Beat-poet cool." He has also written Fight Song, Some Things that Meant the World to Me, and Termite Parade. His novel All This Life is due in July from Counterpoint/Soft Skull.
Jack Boulware is co-founder of Litquake, and author/co-author of three nonfiction books, including the Bay Area punk history, Gimme Something Better.
