Andreas Nørgaard, Danish poet, vanishes in Las Vegas and leaves behind a single letter recounting his final days in the city. Now, four narrators grapple with his enigmatic legacy, exploring questions of individualism, disillusionment, consumerism, and artistic obsession in The Desert Spring Movement.

Arel will read from the novel, Jackson will ask him a few softball questions, and then you can ask the heavy hitters. Books and giant margaritas will be for sale.
