Ron will be at Camas in person reading from his new book.

About the Author
Ron Sakolsky was born in the wilds of Brooklyn, New York in the year that the first atomic bombs fell on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and the books Arcanum 17, The Passive Vampire, The Peyote Dance, Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders, Animal Farm, The Dunwich Horror, and Pippi Longstocking were first published. He shares a February 22 birthday with Hugo Ball, Luis Buñuel, Ishmael Reed, and Meridel Le Sueur, which explains everything.
