3/28 If I Knew the Way, I Would Take You Home launch @ EEBX

TOMORROW…

“He is a novelty in this little community of ranch houses, of assistant managers and teachers and housewives,” Dave Housley writes about the lead singer of a KISS cover band. In his new collection of rock ‘n’ roll short stories, If I Knew the Way, I Would Take You Home, State College-based Housley examines the desperation and triumphs of growing older through the prism of music. Local writers Kris Collins, Shelia Squillante and Rachel Ann Brickner join Housley tonight for a launch party and reading at East End Book Exchange. ZM 7 p.m. 4754 Liberty Ave., Bloomfield. Free. 412-224-2847 or www.eastendbookexchange.com
