YANNICK MURPHY reading & book signing for "Here They Come" Tuesday, May 2nd at 7 pm
Splitting time between a garbage-strewn apartment and an overly affectionate hot dog vendor, the observant 13-year-old who stands steadily at the center of "Here They Come" gives lyrical voice to a time and place - 1970's New York. Published by McSweeney's, Yannick Murphy's new novel creates a world as magical and harrowing as the struggle to come to grips with maturity.
Yannick Murphy writes for readers of all ages. Her novel for adults, "The Sea of Trees," was named one of the best books of the year by the New York Times Book Review. She is also the author of "Stories in Another Language"
