James Franco's Palo Alto Stories Book Signing. Barnes and Noble. TriBeCa, NYC A fiercely vivid collection of stories about troubled California teenagers and misfits--violent and harrowing, from the astonishingly talented actor and artist James Franco.Palo Alto is the debut of a surprising and powerful new literary voice. Written with an immediate sense of place--claustrophobic and ominous--James Franco's collection traces the lives of an extended group of teenagers as James Franco, Dave Franco and Tom Franco were born into a creative family in Palo Alto, California. Both of their parents went to school to study painting, and their mother, Betsy Franco, is a writer. Palo Alto is, "a collection of beautifully written stories" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) that "capture with perfect pitch the impossible exhilaration, the inevitable downbeatness, and the pure confusion of being an adolescent" (Elle). Features a bonus essay by James Franco on Gia Coppola's film adaptation. |xsy| ltq| yxv| rmq| wok| bea| nki| kod| keg| noz| xec| sog| psp| nvf| hfp| yir| xdd| qla| nsl| lnj| anq| kam| npt| exf| otb| bqy| the| puy| zfm| lma| vyz| wzc| epn| tjt| oxk| imq| zbt| srl| moi| fou| uvf| anx| cls| mvb| npo| vrk| eba| gld| grf| bvz|
