Greg Boyle’s Book Party – Jesse Katz – And Venice H.S. Students


Three last minute event notices.

Tuesday, March 9, is the release date for Greg Boyle’s new book, Tattoos on the Heart. (Much more about the book itself later in the week.)

There is a book launch party on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at Homeboy Industries featuring a book signing and reading by Father Greg. The address is 130 W. Bruno St. (Bruno and Alameda, just north of Union Station) I’ll be there, so com’on down!

If you miss that, on Friday, 3/12, he’ll be at Vroman’s. (As for the book, you all simply have to buy it. That’s all there is to it. Not to pressure you or anything, but no excuses.)


HOWEVER TONIGHT, Monday, at 7:30, Dennis Danziger’s class of high school students are reading their work at the PowerHouse theater. 3116 2nd Street in Santa Monica, (one block N. of Rose; one block E. of Main). Details for reservations are here.


AND THEN ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, Jesse Katz is interviewed about his book, The Opposite Field, with Greg Boyle doing the interviewing, at the downtown library’s Aloud series.

With any luck, I’ll be at all three. So if you show up, say hey.


UPDATE: The essay’s that the Venice High kids wrote and read were remarkable. I’ll put a couple of them up tomorrow.
