Lunar Follies

1. Gilbert Sorrentino will appear on Michael Silverblatt's "Bookworm" in fall 2004 to discuss his latest collection of stories and preview Lunar Follies. 2. As with Sorrentino's last two books, we expect extensive review coverage and continued growth in his fan base of independent booksellers, respected critics, and hip, younger readers. 3. A close friend to the late Hubert Selby Jr., teacher of Jeffrey Eugenides, and artistically grouped with Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon, Sorrentino is a true elder stateman of American literature. 4. Good cross-over potential for museum stores and art publications.
