Monte Schulz to unveil “This Side of Jordan” at Book Expo

May 20th, 2009

\

Fantagraphics has put out a press release about Monte Schulz’s new novel, “This Side of Jordan”:

FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION OF THIS SIDE OF JORDAN, A NOVEL BY MONTE SCHULZ

THIS SIDE OF JORDAN, by MONTE SCHULZ, will be unveiled at the 2009 Book Expo America in New York City, May 29-31, with an appearance by the author on Saturday, May 30, at 2:30PM in the Autographing Area.

Monte Schulz

The novel is described as, “a tapestry of American life in the summer before the economic crash of 1929, and a quintessential novel of the rural Midwest offered unexpectedly as a crime thriller.” You can pre-order it from Amazon at this link. Monte says “This Side of Jordan” is very different from his first novel, but like “Down by the River” I’m sure a ripping good read is guaranteed for all!

    I think you’ll like my book. It’s a literary novel where stuff happens! It should be fun to read, but it’s artistic, too, much more so than a plot driven book, but I think it’s got enough to appeal to a wide variety of readers. That said, of course I wrote it to entertain myself, and all these years later (seventeen, in fact) I still love reading it. Makes me laugh in the same places and the philosophies of the book still appeal to me.

    Monte,

    With everything that’s been going on with friends, family and work, I’m sure I will enjoy your book! It will be a welcome diversion indeed, and I’m looking forward to it.

    “It’s a literary novel where stuff happens!” I loved that line, Monte! It really made me smile. I’m really looking forward to reading it, and good luck on the sales!
