My coworker, Charles, handed me a book recently and told me, "Joe, you have to read this." I hesitated as I always do when someone tells me I have to do something. And then one evening I picked up the book. And I devoured it. And I have been walking around the store telling people, "You have to read this book." It's powerful. It's humorous. It's touching and very sad. I'm glad I read it. And the exciting thing is this: not only can you read this book, you can come to the Tattered Cover LoDo store this Wednesday night, October 7, and meet David Small. He's the author of Stitches: A Memoir.
David Small is reading this Wednesday at 7:30 at the Tattered Cover Lower Downtown.
Here is an interview with him on NPR.
Below is a series of scenes from the book.

My wife and I love Sarah Stewart and David Small’s work. This book will be a must have fro me I think. His work is so inspirational to me. He seems to be a master of creating tone and mood and creates so much character depth through his work.
Though this sounds like a saddening read I can’t help but be compelled to read it. I think the fact that he had these struggles in his life add to the value and creditability of the gentleness, sensitivity and warmth in his work.
Thanks for the post
