Boswell is hosting a midnight release party at Henry's Pub & Grille to celebrate Thomas Pynchon's new novel, Shadow Ticket. What's so special about this book? Well, aside from being Pynchon's first novel in more than a decade, it's also set right here in Milwaukee!
The party begins at 11 pm on the eve of the book's release date, and there will be Pynchon trivia, Shadow Ticket swag, a custom cocktail available for purchase, and the most exciting thing of all - the book will be available for purchase (or pick up) at Midnight!
The winner of the trivia contest will get a hat and a tote bag. Folks who register and attend the event (no purchase required!) will be entered in a drawing for hat or tote. We have several of each to give away The first 60 folks to preorder the book or purchase at the event will get a custom bookmark.
Click here to preorder a copy of Shadow Ticket before Monday, October 6, and get 20% off the book's list price. Preordered copies can be picked up at the party beginning right at midnight - just include the phrase "Pynchon Party Pickup" in the order notes, please. Do note, orders must be placed by Noon on 10/6 to ensure we can process it in time.
As any Pynchon-head will tell you, the only thing you can know for sure about a Thomas Pynchon book release party is that Thomas Pynchon himself will not be in attendance. Which is to say, this is an authorless event.
