Willy Vlautin: New Book Out Now

RICHMOND FONTAINE FRONTMAN NEW NOVEL LEAN ON PETE RELEASED APRIL 13

Richmond Fontaine

Tuesday April 13 was the official U.S. release date for the third novel from Richmond Fontaine‘s Willy Vlautin, Lean On Pete. It has been extremely well received so far in the U.K., Ireland and Australia.

“As one boy’s journey, Lean on Pete is as real as blood: as a novel it is remarkable. Willy Vlautin, romantic and realist, has written something special that will make you shudder, weep, rage and wonder at how such things happen and do, and how some individuals such as Charley can suffer them, absorb the grief, and somehow survive. How good is contemporary U.S. fiction? This good: catch your breath good.” -Eileen Battersby, Irish Times

Willy is heading out on the road to do a bunch of readings. Support your local bookstore and come on out to a reading. For a lucky couple of cities guitar man Dan Eccles and Willy will play as the RF Acoustic Duo. See dates below and on Willy’s site.
