Forrest Leo reads from his debut novel, The Gentleman.
Praise for Forrest Leo:
“An effervescent book with a cheerfully lunatic plot. Cavalier, funny, and totally engrossing. It’s a delicious crumpet of a novel that will leave you wondering if Forrest Leo drinks tea with the devil.”—Sara Levine, author of Treasure Island!!!
“Let us all bow down before the nutty and delightful romp that is The Gentleman. An assured stylist tells a hilarious story with perfect pacing and aplomb: yes, please.”—Henry Alford, author of Would It Kill You to Stop Doing That?: A Modern Guide to Manners
“Simultaneously very strange and very familiar, The Gentleman has all the right echoes and influences – the ‘scientific romance,’ the postmodernist novel, the comedy of manners. It’s witty and erudite, with great whiffs of Wells and Wilde and Wodehouse – all of it beautifully combined, with one of the best opening sentences I’ve read in years. Go on—open up!”—Geoff Nicholson, author of The Lost Art of Walking
