This Side of Jordan (Fantagraphics)

Monte Schulz will read from and sign his new novel, the first in a planned series of three novels about the Jazz Age.  Schulz is the son of Charles M. Schulz, creator of Peanuts, and in This Side of Jordan one of his ambitions was to recreate the time of his mother's and father's Jazz Age childhood, when America was making the irresistible transition from rural to urban life.
