Author Dan Chaon will discuss his latest novel, Sleepwalk, a high speed and darkly comic road trip through a near future America with a big hearted mercenary. A darkly comic shaggy chase novel full of suspense and adventure, Sleepwalk evokes elements of Murakami and the Coen Brothers, Denis Johnson and Chloe Zhao’s Nomadland, and the precarious potboilers of Chandler’s Philip Marlowe into a genre-bending page-turner all its own. Chaon will be in conversation with author Doug Dorst, and will sign books after the event.
