Larry Baker managed and owned movie theaters in Oklahoma before moving to Iowa and writing novels. His seventh book, “Harry & Sue,” takes place in just such a theater, populated by a variety of ghosts you will know, such as Marilyn Monroe, Harry Chapin, Mark Twain, Patsy, Cline, and Harry Houdini. But the ghosts, particularly Marilyn, act and speak in ways you might not expect, if you only know them from pop legend.
Larry will read from his book on July 16 at Prairie Lights Books in Iowa City. More info on the event at www.prairielights.com.
Harry and Sue is published by Iowa Citian Steve Semien’s Ice Cube Press, www.icecubepress.com.
