Release Party for "Danny B." by Tim Kinsella
Featured Book
Danny b
Danny didn't feel at home at home, but the pinball arcade and the strip club welcomed him. It's Portland, 2004, and with the fog of his mother's unsolved murder years earlier still hanging over him, Danny joined N.A. The motorcycle gang that ran this N.A. group got him a job as a first call responder for the city morgue, requiring him to regularly walk in on the worst day of a stranger's life. Based on a propulsive true story of becoming oneself, Danny B. is an impressionistic drift that pauses to zoom in on minute particulars.
