Local Author Speaking Series: I'll be speaking on (and reading from) "House Stories" in Plymouth

 





















I will be speaking about – and reading from – my new book of linked short stories, "House Stories,” at Books & Sundry located at 150 Water St., Plymouth MA. The book is centered on a Connecticut commune, circa 1970 and the characters who shared the house. I’ll also talk about my novel, "Suosso's Lane," a novel based on the Plymouth origins of the notorious Sacco and Vanzetti case. 

Here's the event announcement from Plymouth's new bookstore, Books & Sundry. Please note that the store requires registration for this free, public program. 


"Bob Knox, formerly of Plymouth, joins us to talk about “House Stories,” his latest work of short stories. The collection is centered on a Connecticut commune, circa 1970 and the characters who inhabit it. Knox is also the author of "Suosso's Lane," a novel based on the Plymouth origins of the notorious Sacco and Vanzetti case. Previously, Knox was selected as a finalist for a Massachusetts Cultural Council fellowship and his stories have been published by Words With Jam, The Tishman Review, Lunch Ticket, and Unlikely Stories, among other journals.

"A Plymouth resident for 20 years, he worked as an editor for the Old Colony Memorial, winning awards for his editorials and arts coverage for a newspaper that was annually named Best Newspaper in New England in its class. He is currently working as a correspondent for the Boston Globe and working on another novel, "Karpa Talesman," which will be published by Hidden River Arts.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration required."
