SUMMARY:Launch Party! Author Dan Leach w/ Junah at the End of the World
DESCRIPTION:We’re super excited to welcome author Dan Leach to Main Street Reads for the launch of his new novel\, Junah at the End of the World\, releasing June 17th from Hub City Press. You’re invited to meet Dan\, enjoy wine and appetizers\, and grab a signed copy of this remarkable new release!!! \n\n\n\nWhen twelve-year-old Junah Simmons walks into his middle school classroom in September 1999\, the chalkboard reads THE END OF THE WORLD IS HERE. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the months leading up to Y2K\, Junah’s eccentric teacher tasks each of her students to make a time capsule in a shoe box to document their experiences in South Carolina at the end of the world. \n\n\n\nJunah is an outsider at school\, the kid in sunglasses with a speech impediment. Through the time capsule project\, he sifts through the tough stuff: his parents divorce; Rusty\, the school bully; Sadie\, his punk crush who doesn’t know he exists; his mother’s pressure on him to turn to Jesus; his worry and loneliness. Rendered in vignettes and scraps\, this kaleidoscopic novel follows Junah as he confronts the catastrophes of youth while wrestling with the notion that the world itself could end in December. \n\n\n\nFunny\, soulful\, and timely\, Dan Leach’s Junah at the End of the World reminds us that it’s only after accepting the world’s end that we can discover what it means to truly live. With the wit of George Singleton and the punk charm of Sam Pink\, Dan Leach is a writer to watch. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDan Leach has published work in The Massachusetts Review\, The Southwest Review\, and The Sun. He has two collections of short fiction: Floods and Fires (University of North Georgia\, 2017) and Dead Mediums (Trident\, 2022).  \n\n\n\nIn 2023\, Texas Review Press chose him for the Southern Poetry Breakthrough Award and released his collection Stray Latitudes (2024). He lives in the lowcountry of South Carolina and teaches writing at Charleston Southern University. \n\n\n\nWe can’t wait for you to meet this author and read this book!
