Peter Gould Presents New Novel, Part for the Hole: Book Launch and Reading

Peter Gould Presents New Novel, Part for the Hole:

Book Launch and Reading at Putney Library

Thursday, June 25th at 6:30pm

Join local author and performer Peter Gould for a reading and book launch of his new novel on Thursday, June 25th at 6:30pm. At a time of politicization of arts support, Peter Gould’s new novel, Part for the Hole, puts the reader into the mind and heart of a thoughtful high school teacher, who decides to rescue the National Endowment for the Arts by himself—with the help of his lover and his AP English students. They realize it’s time to take a stand, to not let working artists disappear into a system that demands their soul in return for success. Be advised: no artists, teachers, or students were harmed in the writing or reading of this story: it’s fiction! All theater, all metaphor!

“Sentence by nimble sentence, Gould gallivants through his story, and I follow

his jazzy solo phrases, hoping that this book never ends.”

Peter Coyote, old hipster, author, actor, Zen Buddhist priest.

Peter Gould has toured the world as a physical comedy performer. He founded (in 1998) and still directs the “Get Thee to the Funnery” youth Shakespeare camp in the Northeast Kingdom. For his creative work with theater and writing students around Vermont, Peter earned the Arts Council’s 2016 Ellen McCulloch-Lovell Arts Educator of the Year award.

Copies of Peter’s book will be for sale at the event.

Putney Public Library is located at 55 Main St. Putney, VT. This event is free and open to the public.
