The Truth, as Fiction

March 25th, 2008 at 10:27 am

Observer readers, perhaps more than most, are accustomed to reading the ugly truth, but never let it be said that our writers don’t enjoy making stuff up, too. Case in point: The Truth, the debut novel by former Observer editor and current contributor Geoff Rips, who also happens to sit on the board of the Texas Democracy Foundation, which publishes the Observer, but who has never, ever looked over our shoulder as we pecked out a blog post promoting his book. Honest.

Rips will be signing copies at Austin’s BookPeople (603 N. Lamar) on Thursday, March 27, at 7 p.m., then again next month at San Antonio’s The Twig (5005 Broadway) on Wednesday, April 30, at 5 p.m.
