In anticipation of Eoin Colfer's talk tonight at the Free Library, we're giving away a copy of his just-out And Another Thing … , a continuation of the late Douglas Adams' sci-fi masterpiece The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Colfer's event (7:30 p.m., free, Free Library, Central Branch, 1901 Vine St., 215-567-4341, freelibrary.org) kicks off his U.S. tour — and as a special treat, the library will be giving out "Don't Panic" towels as well as special limited Hitchhiker's editions, while supplies last.
Said Colfer (whose first name is pronounced "Owen," FYI) of the Guide: "Being given the chance to write this book is like suddenly being offered the superpower of your choice. For years I have been finishing this incredible story in my head and now I have the opportunity to do it in the real world."
From the novel's press release:
When last we saw Arthur Dent, our towel-toting hero had traveled the length, breadth, and depth of known, and unknown, space. No sooner had he made his way home to (one rather pleasant version) planet Earth than he discovered that it was about to be blown up … again. Since 1997, Hitchhiker's fans have featured Arthur and friends dead, but now, in And Another Thing … , Eoin Colfer revives Adams' beloved characters using his own brand of humor to propel them through another intergalactic screwball adventure.
To win a copy, be the first to answer this trivia question:
In City Paper's Food section last month, we asked a local bartender to reimagine what Hitchhiker's interstellar cocktail?
