This February sees the launch of ‘Book Bites’ at The Athenaeum Hotel & Apartments in partnership with leading publishers Pan Macmillan. The hotel will offer guests the chance to sample new releases from up-and-coming authors, with Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler being the first in a monthly succession.
A big-hearted masterpiece of small-town life, Shotgun Lovesongs showcases the glorious new voice in American Fiction conveyed by first time novelist Butler. Matthew Quick, bestselling author of The Silver Lining Playbook comments, “A book that makes you want to call old friends. A writer who makes you feel more human than you thought possible”, Shotgun Lovesongs weaves a tale of tested love, loyalty and sentimentality.
