The gay author of The Celebrants, Lily and the Octopus and — perhaps most notably — The Guncle will be featured in DMA’s Arts and Letters Live series on Tuesday, June 18.
In a conversation with Brad Pritchett, chief experience officer at the DMA, Rowley will talk about his brand new tome and sequel, The Guncle Abroad.
At the time of this interview, Rowley was still a couple of days out from the book’s release date. “It’s always exciting, but publishing is a long-lead industry,” he said. “It takes a while to write the book, then finish the cover and then the sales team and librarians. “It’s all sorts of that fun stuff, but that culmination leads to this excitement each time.” The Guncle Abroad marks Rowley’s first sequel.
