Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at 7:00 PM - Mark Sarvas - Harry Revised, A Novel

Harry, Revised is the hilarious and tender story of Harry Rent, a down-on-his-luck widower, who tries to reinvent himself following his wife’s untimely death. Harry’s emotional journey takes him from his own solipsistic and outrageously misdirected fantasies about an obsidian-haired, twenty-two-year-old waitress at his local greasy spoon to the tenuous beginnings of an actual, personal transformation. This darkly comedic novel is from the founder of the popular literary blog The Elegant Variation.
