Acclaimed Author/Journalist Steve Oney to appear at Tecolote Book Shop

Join author Steve Oney at Tecolote Book Shop to celebrate the publication of his new anthology, A Man’s World: A Gallery of Fighters, Creators, Actors, and Desperadoes.  The reading and discussion will begin at 4 pm on July 27.
           
The book features twenty profiles of men written during Oney’s 40-plus years as a magazine journalist. The subjects include the famous (Harrison Ford), the outrageous (Andrew Breitbart), the brilliant (Robert Penn Warren), the legendary (Herschel Walker), and the tortured (Gregg Allman). The stories originally appeared in such publications as Esquire, GQ, Playboy, Time, The New York Times Magazine, and Los Angeles.
           
Reflecting on the contents of A Man’s World, novelist Lee Child observed: “Taken separately, these are superb and acute accounts by a truly perceptive journalist. Taken together, they’re a piece of social history that might be read a hundred years from now. For better or worse, this is what we were, guys.”
           
At Tecolote, Oney will discuss A Man’s World and the stories behind the stories. He will also take questions. Light refreshments will be provided.  
           
Oney’s first book, And the Dead Shall Rise, an examination of the infamous Leo Frank lynching, won the American Bar Association’s Silver Gavel Award for best work on the nation’s legal system and the National Jewish Book Award for history.
