A Toast to MONTPELIER PARADE

Karl Geary is a man of many talents. Born in Dublin, he moved to New York City at age sixteen. He has cofounded two East Village institutions: the music venue Sin-é, and later the Scratcher. He has also worked as a scriptwriter (Coney Island Baby) and an actor (Michael Almereyda’s Hamlet; Ken Loach’s Jimmy’s Hall), and adapted and directed Dorothy Parker’s story “You Were Perfectly Fine” for the screen.

Given his resume, it’s hardly a surprise that he’s an incredible novelist as well. His debut, Montpelier Parade, has been praised as “stunning” (The Daily Mail), “fast paced and highly engrossing” (Booklist), and “unassuming but gorgeously rendered” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)—and it goes on sale today! We’re proud of Karl and his book, and we hope you’ll love it as much as we do. You can read more about Montpelier Parade and order a copy here.

Karl may be in your neighborhood soon! He hopes you’ll join him at one of several events celebrating Montpelier Parade.
