Q&A with Marc

Prepare to laugh. Prepare to laugh really hard. Marc Acito is coming to town and the guy is hilarious, not to mention an award-winning novelist.

Be sure to save the date. It’s Sunday, September 16th, from 3-5 p.m. in the Oak Room at the Wilsonville Public Library. The library is located on the corner of Wilsonville Road and Town Center Loop, just across from both Rite Aid and Murase Park.

The cost is only $5 at the door.

Here’s a little more about Marc:

Marc Acito’s comic debut novel, “How I Paid for College: A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship and Musical Theater” won the Oregon Book Awards’ Ken Kesey Award for the Novel and made the American Library Association’s Top Ten Teen Book List.

It was also selected as an Editor’s Choice by the New York Times, has been optioned for film by Columbia Pictures and has been translated into four languages the author does not speak. Publisher’s Weekly said: “Acito debuts with dazzling comic panache. The results is a thumbs-up winner from a storyteller whose future looks as bright as that of his young hero.”
