An astonishing\, hotly anticipated new novel from the great literary fantasist and creator of Thursday Next\, Jasper Fforde. As long as anyone can remember\, society has been ruled by a Colortocracy. From the underground feedpipes that keep the municipal park green to the healing hues viewed to cure illness to a social hierarchy based upon one's limited color perception\, society is dominated by color. In this world\, you are what you can see. Part satire\, part romance\, part revolutionary thriller\, this is the new world from the creative and comic genius of Jasper Fforde.

A former Hollywood film exec\, Jasper Fforde has switched from the silver screen to the page\, earning a reputation as a "\;grown up J. K. Rowling"\; with his literary fantasies The Eyre Affair and Lost in a Good Book.
Join us at the Marble Brewery January 13 at 7pm.
