Any year that brings books from Matt Bell and Norman Lock is a good one. That 2013 has brought work from both is even better: Bell’s visceral, evocative novel In the House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and The Woods and Lock’s mindbending collection Love Among the Particles are both among our favorite books of the year to date.

We’ll be hosting Bell and Lock at Community Bookstore on Thursday, June 13. Each will read, followed by a short conversation between the two authors.

Community Bookstore is located at 143 Seventh Avenue in Brooklyn. This event will begin at 7 pm; Facebook RSVP here.
