Singer and songwriter Graydon James is launching his first novel—a dark comic satire called “The Mall of Small Frustrations”—with a concert and a reading from the book. Joining James’ The Young Novelists band (which is a pretty fitting name given the event) will be special guests Ron Hawkins and Stephen Stanley from The Lowest of the Low, as well as Andrea Ramolo, of Scarlett Jane. Writer and musician David Newland will host the evening.
