We’re excited to welcome Tobias Carroll and Juan Martinez to the store for an event in celebration of Caroll’s new novel In the Sight.

About In the Sight:
Farrier had been raised in the East…
Furtive spaces on the outskirts of cities, truck stops in the middle of nowhere, and obscure research outposts — those are the places where Farrier did his work. What’s the nature of that work, you ask? DIY brain modification, for starters — highly experimental and in no way legal. When his past catches up with him, Farrier sets out on a road trip without end, frenetically crossing the country in search of redemption, revisiting old haunts along the way.
This tale of open roads, weird science, and endless reinvention draws inspiration from Destroyer’s 2002 album This Night. It also features aviaries gone wrong, obscure retail outlets, and coffee. So much coffee. Don’t try this at home, readers.

Tobias Carroll writes things. He is the author of four books: the novels Reel and Ex-Members; Transitory, a short story collection; and Political Sign, a work of nonfiction in the Object Lessons series.

Juan Martinez is a writer and an associate professor of English at Northwestern University and the author of the horror novel Extended Stay (University of Arizona Press / Camino del Sol, 2023) and of the story collection Best Worst American (Small Beer Press, 2017). He is also a core faculty member for StoryStudio and the fiction editor for Jackleg Press. He lives with his family near Chicago.
