Book Release Party for LAZARUS IS DEAD: Reading by Richard Beard, introduced by Michael Reynolds

Richard Beard’s new novel LAZARUS IS DEAD has been described as “a thrilling meta-novel” by Maria Semple (author of Where’d You Go, Bernadette), “funny, smart, scary…above all, completely convincing” by Ben Loory [author of Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day], and “nothing less than astonishing,” (Kirkus, starred review).

In his only New York appearance for LAZARUS IS DEAD, Richard Beard will be in conversation with Europa’s Editor in Chief at 192 Books. Signing and refreshments will follow.

An ingeniously funny and moving novel that disguises itself as biography, Lazarus Is Dead recounts the story of a great friendship lost and regained. Richard Beard’s brand of storytelling unabashedly turns convention on its head as he draws on biblical sources, historical detail, art and contemporary literature, to throw a spell over his readers that remains unbroken until the final pages of this astonishing story about second chances.
