Author Andrew Levy
Andrew Levy’s new book, A Brain Wider Than the Sky: A Migraine Diary (Simon & Schuster; 289 Pages), received a rave review in this week’s TIME magazine:
“…it’s a challenge to which Levy rises. He collects headaches like rare butterflies, and he has a rare, possibly singular gift for fitting words to them,” writes Lev Grossman. “His fellow ‘migraineurs,’ as he (Levy) calls them, include Thomas Jefferson, Emily Dickinson, Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, Charles Darwin and Elvis Presley. Reading about their epic suffering, you wonder how they ever got anything done at all. But Levy raises the tantalizing possibility that their genius arose in part because of their migraines rather than in spite of them. He entertains the idea that migraines ‘make the clear moments that much clearer, the dark moments that much more unreachable.’”
Please be sure to join us for the launch party, reading and book-signing, Tuesday, June 2nd, 6pm in our new store at 6510 Cornell Avenue, next door to the Broad Ripple Brew Pub across from the Monon Trail.
Celebrating the success of a friend, neighbor, colleague, professor (Butler University), is the sweetest of pleasures and one not to be missed. Suffice it to say, we can’t wait to see you.
Big Hat Books has moved into its delicious new store at 6510 Cornell Avenue, just north of the canal, adjacent to the Monon Trail, next door to the landmark Broad Ripple Brew Pub.
Check out the Find Us page for directions. Our phone number remains the same (317) 202-0203.
The space, the light, and the location have got us thinking about everything we can do to make Big Hat Books an important part of your lives.
The reading life begins with books and yet is so much more. Comfort, beauty, comraderie — this is what we hope to create for you. The schedule of author events, book clubs, workshops, and discussions will be posted shortly.
Many thanks to all of you who made our first two events at the new store such hits. Dare anyone to have the kind of laugh-riot fun we had at the launch of Jill Conner Browne’s American Thighs: The Sweet Potato Queens’ Guide to Preserving Your Assets, or Cindy Pierce’s one-woman show and the basis of her book Finding the Doorbell: Sexual Satisfaction for the Long Haul. Now that’s how to weather the winter.
We are busy unpacking shipments every day. Come visit and find a treasure or two. We look forward to seeing you soon!
