Plague tales, tonight

Former Austinite Zach Plague appears at BookPeople tonight in support of his debut novel, boring boring boring boring boring boring boring (Featherproof), a dizzying mixture of obsessive typography and design wrapped around a bonkers tale of sex and drugs. Another local link: the cover photo is by our own Mary Sledd. Fellow authors Amelia Gray and Ryan Markel join in for a reading of their work at 7pm.

Check out Thursday’s issue for a review of Plague’s book.
