Publisher's Weekly Weighs In on YOUNG JUNIUS

Last week Publishers Weekly reviewed Young Junius, my new novel out in October from Tyrus Books.

Here's what they had to say:
"Searing . . . a vicious black comedy of murderous errors. Harwood pulls no punches, revealing not only the white death of crack cocaine but the ineffectuality of black liberals who believe their Harvard Law books can cure the malignancy inherent in “forgotten civic ideas” like the Towers and the desire of the Towers’ inhabitants to destroy anyone trying to escape. In the end, Junius’s fate is as old as Aeschylus, the endless cycle of killing “just a snake eating itself."


I've already lined up a few reading dates, including

Oct 8: Great Good Place for Books, Montclair--for any East Bay types. 7PM.
Oct 9: Mission Police Station Community Room as part of Litquake's Litcrawl. 7PM
Oct 12: Books Inc, Opera Plaza, 7PM
Oct 20: M for Mystery in San Mateo, 7PM
Nov 13: Borderlands Books, 3PM (Saturday)

Hope I'll see you out!
