Rick Moody | The Four Fingers of Death with Larry Doyle | Go Mutants
Rick Moody is the author of nine books, including The Diviners and The Ice Storm, which was adapted into a critically acclaimed film starring Sigourney Weaver. Among his many honors, he has won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Set in 2025, his new comic novel, The Four Fingers of Death revels in cheesy science fiction tropes and conventions in the form of a novelization of a remake of a mock classic drive-in movie. What?
Former writer for The Simpsons, Beavis and Butt-Head and Daria, Larry Doyle is also the author of I Love You Beth Cooper, which was recently adapted into a feature film. His new novel, Go, Mutants!, follows the offspring of some of Hollywood’s most iconic B-movie aliens, monsters, and other creatures as they navigate the horrific world of the all-American high school.
