Nov 19 2009 Iowa City writer Larry Baker reads at Prairie Lights
Posted on: Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:26:00 +0000
Iowa City author Larry Baker, an adjunct faculty member at the University of Iowa, will read from "A Good Man," his new novel, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, in Prairie Lights Books at 15 S. Dubuque St. in downtown Iowa City. The free event will be streamed live and archived on the UI Writing University Web site, http://www.writinguniversity.org/.
Baker's protagonist, Harry Ducharme, is at the end of his rope. Booze and bad decisions have taken him from the A-list of talk-radio fame down to a tiny cinder-block station in St. Augustine, Fla. He talks, mostly to himself, not sure anybody is listening, reading books and poetry that he likes, playing golden oldies from the '60s and wondering how he got there.
Then everything is changed in the midst of a hurricane by the arrival of a mysterious visitor who prophesies a New Child of God. Harry's role in the New Child's arrival eventually becomes intertwined with politics, Iraq, 9/11, old-time religion and classic American literature from writers including Flannery O'Connor and Emily Dickinson, as well as the music of Harry Chapin.
Baker's previous novels are "The Flamingo Rising," which was adapted by Hallmark for a TV movie, and "Athens, America."
