Get Your Tongue & Groove On with Mark Sarvas
L.A.'s very own debut novelist and litblogger extraordinaire, Mark Sarvas, will be reading from his first novel Harry, Revised tomorrow night at 6pm @ Hotel Cafe as part of the Tongue & Groove reading series. Harry, Revised is set in L.A, features several of your favorite & not so favorite neighborhoods, highlights the darker perils of plastic surgery, examines a bevy of relationships gone awry, and offers a hilarious take on the bizarre and oh-so-L.A. spinning class culture. Sarvas is an excellent reader, especially with such funny material to read and with The Hotel Cafe as a backdrop, it promises to be a quintessentially L.A. literary evening.
