I have yet to read anything written by Gary Phillips. In fact, I'd never heard of him until recently. So, in the interest of learning more about Gary Phillips, I decided to watch Alta Journal's California Book Club virtual event with John Freeman and special guest, Naomi Hirahara!
I enjoyed watching this virtual author event earlier this evening and now want to read Violent Spring more than ever. Violent Spring was published 30 years ago in 1994 and is set in Los Angeles, California. It's also the first novel in a series of four novels featuring the leading character, Private Investigator Ivan Monk. Violent Spring takes place a year after the LA Riots, which occurred in 1992. There are plenty of other features that make this novel sound wonderful.
Have you read any books by Gary Phillips? Also, have you attended any author events recently? Let me know in the comment section below!
