Emily Montjoy, Chuck's new publicist over at Doubleday was nice enough to mail me a pristine hardcover of Chuck's next book, the non-fiction anthology [b]Stranger Than Fiction[/b], in the mail today. I must say, this is probably the best looking cover I've seen on a Chuck book yet. Simple yet haunting.

Emily then followed up with an email containing the confirmed dates of Chuck's small U.S. tour to accompany the release of "Stranger Than Fiction".

[b]06/16 PORTLAND, OR
Powell’s (off site)/7:30pm

06/22 EUGENE, OR
Borders/7:00pm

06/29 SEATTLE, WA
University Bookstore (off site)/7:30pm

07/08 SPOKANE, WA
Auntie’s Bookstore/7:30pm[/b]

They're also going to possibly add one more reading in San Diego, but it’s not set up yet, so we'll let you know the date when it’s confirmed.

In the meantime, don't waste anymore time!

Maybe it's just me, but the fun of having an autographed copy is actually GETTING the autograph.

I'm totally making a special trip to Portland for this signing!

Yeah meeting the author when they sign your book is great and all... Well I'll see Chuck in Chicago at the Book Expo and I'd feel bad if I had a stack of books to be signed so if I can get a friend in Eugene to get Stranger Than Fiction signed... It's all about spanning the signings out, that way I don't contribute too much to Chuck's super-cramped hand.

Not to be a jackass, but do the tour organizers EVER realize there is a southern part of the U.S. ?

Mind if you enlighted a confused soul like myself as to why you think the cover is creepy?

Go find Chuck's bio on this site. Read about what happened to him as a child, then the cover will make more sense to you.

The only thing I could find in the bio that sort of made sense is that Chuck sometimes takes his shoes off before reading before an audience.

But that's not creepy. And it doesn't have to do with anything that happened to him as a kid...

Bah...

I am definitely going to try to get to Washington around that time, so who knows; I may get to meet Chuck. Or at least hear him read.

Ok I think I get it. Something to do with Chuck's father witnessing the murder of his grandmother by his grandfather and hiding underneath the bed to not get caught?

DING DING DING!!
Give the man a prize! That's exactly it!!

If I remember right, the view from under the bed was a dirty pair of work boots and the end of shotgun dragging on the floor. For obvious reasons, they left that bit off the new cover!

Awesome! It's a great record! Some pretty good electronic tracks!

The reason that coconut statement stood out is because my old music store staff and I used to say that all the time in the store! Too funny!

Hey guys,

Just a reminder, b/c it's been said many times before. This tour was never going to be a big one. Chuck is still recovering from his back to back Fugitives & Refugees and Diary tours. And Doubleday has his biggest tour planned yet for the 2005 release of Haunted. So if you can be patient, you've got a much better chance of seeing Chuck for that book.
