Well I have to say I am very privileged to be speaking tonight at one of my all time favorite book stores in the world The Book Revue!

Rarely do old time independent book stores offer up such glorious selections of myriad amounts of literature - at great prices - in such an aesthetically pleasing setting as The Book Revue in Huntington, NY. The town is also a personal favorite hangout of mine, as great food, art, culture, music, and books come together brilliantly there.

Anyone attending my reading from THE SUBLIMINAL RELIGION tonight can listen in to a carefully chosen selection, the Q/A session, and audience questions for free. Books will be available for purchase, and I will be signing as well.

I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Happy New Year!! Here's a quote to start it off:

"You ever start a holy war, Jamey boy?"

And here's a reminder that I'll be reading from THE SUBLIMINAL RELIGION on Thursday, January 5, 2012, at the Book Revue in Huntington, NY. There will be a Q/A session afterwards, so submit questions for me...please! And of course the book signing will commence to round off the evening.

Best,

RJ

_ Come to the Book Revue on January 5, 2012 to spend a blasphemous evening with R.J. Huneke celebrating the release of his newest thriller THE SUBLIMINAL RELIGION. Along with an interview Q/A session, book signing, and an alleged gluttonous performance (and we can’t even imagine what that could entail), R.J. will be reading from his dystopic novel in this true book collector’s paramount, nestled within the foothills of Huntington, NY. We hope to see you there!

Reading "The City and the City," by Mieville, is like walking into a dream.  Stark realism and a vivid murder investigation starts the tale off as James Patterson might.  The story builds with the investigation, the police-life in the Eastern European country of Beszel and subtle details about a bordering country that is off limits to everyone in Beszel. 

The horrific murder mystery swirls amidst stranger circumstances that build on top of one another bewildering the tenacious Inspector Borlu.  The reader is taken from a point of detailed city cop life to something that is hazy and does not quite make sense in Beszel, though it is not clear just what that is.  It is exactly like being dropped into a dream.  The underworld of the city is exposed in all of its scarred detail, but there is more going on just beyond...there is something weird about the bordering land...
