Joe R. Lansdale Talks After “Hap & Leonard” Screening at the Jean Cocteau Cinema in Santa Fe
Texas author & Bubonicon 48 toastmaster Joe R. Lansdale will be in Santa Fe on March 1 to converse with George RR Martin in a Q&A session after a screening of the first episode of season 3 of Hap and Leonard. He also will sign books.
About the 3rd Season: In The Two-Bear Mambo, when Florida Grange goes missing in the Klan-infested town of Grovetown, Hap and Leonard set out to find her. As the mystery unfolds, Hap and Leonard find themselves at odds with a cast of characters so tough they could chew the bumper off a pickup truck – including a possibly corrupt sheriff and the leader of the Caucasian Knights. Set in East Texas, against an impending storm of biblical proportions, Hap and Leonard scramble to locate Florida before the Klan locates them. The boys learn that the good guys don’t always win – and that nobody beats Mother Nature.
Joe R. Lansdale is the author of more than three dozen novels, including Paradise Sky, the Edgar Award-winning The Bottoms, Sunset and Sawdust, and Leather Maiden. He has received 11 Bram Stoker Awards, the American Mystery Award, the British Fantasy Award, the Raymond Chandler Award, and the Grinzane Cavour Prize for Literature. He lives with his family in Nacogdoches, Texas.
The event starts at 7:00 pm Monday, March 1. Admission cost is FREE – so buy a drink and/or some books!
