Lambda Literary Award finalist Kim Powers, author of the novel Capote in Kansas: A Ghost Story and the memoir The History of Swimming, will read from his new novel, Rules for Being Dead, at a virtual book event via Zoom on Wednesday, November 4th at 6 p.m., hosted by East End Books Ptown.

Rules for Being Dead is a coming-of-age thriller that tells the story of 10-year-old Clarke, a small-town movie-mad Texas boy in the 1960s, whose mom suddenly and mysteriously dies. No one will tell him how it happened, and his father may have been involved.
