Guardian book club: Iain M Banks on Use of Weapons
As the latest novel in the Culture series hits the bookshops, we look at the third of Iain M Banks’s best-selling SF novels, The Use of Weapons. Known for writing in two separate strands – science fiction and literary novels – Banks explains how the two inspired each other, with the Culture emerging from his work on the first draft of his debut novel, The Wasp Factory.
He also explains the role that a misunderstanding of structuralism played in the construction of his fictional multiverse, and reveals that the dual chronology he uses in the novel was not in fact his idea at all …

Chuck Palahniuk | Damned - Free Library Podcast
http://libwww.freelibrary.org/podcast/index.cfm?podcastID=701
Recorded 10/29/2011
This podcast contains explicit content.
Chuck Palahniuk has said about his world: "It can go to some dark places, but I always hope that it’s a trip worth making." He is the author of 11 previous novels, including bestsellers Haunted and Lullaby, as well as Choke and Fight Club, which were adapted into popular films that have reached cult-like status. His newest novel, Damned—called the six-feet-under version of The Breakfast Club—is narrated by an effervescent 11-year-old who has awoken in hell after a marijuana overdose. With a satirical parade of the banal elements of earthly and post-earthly life, Damned is a signature dark manifesto on Hell as only Palahniuk could imagine it. Pre-signed copies of Damned will be on sale at the event.
Signing guidelines: Mr. Palahniuk will personalize one copy of Damned, which must be purchased at the library on event day, and sign one back list title for the first 100 people in the signing line. He will sign for ca. 50 people prior to the event (at 12:30 pm) and 50 afterward. Tickets will be handed to the first 100 people in the signing line and collected as books are signed. If you have any questions, please call in advance.

Lee Child | The Affair - Free Library Podcast
http://libwww.freelibrary.org/podcast/index.cfm?podcastID=687
Recorded 10/3/2011 Listen to MP3 audio
Bestselling thriller writer Lee Child’s 1997 debut novel Killing Floor, starring tough but humane maverick Jack Reacher, was an immediate success, winning the mystery writer’s Anthony Award and launching an electrifying series. “Until Reacher runs low on grit, make-my-day wisecracks and loner mystique, he will be one of the most enduring action heroes on the American landscape,” writes Janet Maslin in the New York Times. Selling globally at a rate of one every five seconds, the success of these books rests partly on the hulking shoulders of their charismatic hero, but also on Child steadily cranking out at least one tight, spellbinding book per year. The sixteeenth in the series, The Affair takes place six months before the events of Killing Floor.
