Author Jon Armstrong grew up outside Seattle, State College, PA., and Columbia, Maryland. His parents both have fine art and art education degrees and life was often like an extended art class. At an early age, Jon read and admired Buckminster Fuller and spent countless afternoons listening to his parents Jack Benny albums. Grey, his first published work, just came out from NightShade Books. Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay had this to say: "Grey is a legendary book waiting to happen. It's a mad, stylish, trippy, endlessly inventive romp through the biohazardouswastes of post-genre literature." Jon Armstrong is a genius, with an umlaut, to the fifth power. See his website here.Also featuring Coolcumber, Music For Garbage Collectors, Authors of the Millenium, and In the Shadow of the Death Star, plus musings from the blog. |
