Spring Author Series Begins at APL
with Austin Writer Jim Lewis
At 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 3, 2004, at the Milwood Branch, 12500 Amherst Drive in North Austin (off Parmer Lane), of the Austin Public Library, the Milwood Branch Book Club welcomes Austin writer, Jim Lewis, who recently published (Knopf Publishing) The King is Dead. Lewis will be available to discuss and answer questions about his book. A powerful novel of love, madness, murder, and redemption, of politics and justice, Jim Lewis's The King Is Dead is the story of two men-a father and a son-whose contrasting lives reflect the dramatic shifts in the last half century of American life. A book signing will follow. The Friends of the Austin Public Library will sponsor this free event and the public is invited to attend.
