Gould to read from new book in hotel that inspired its setting

BRATTLEBORO-Peter Gould’s new novel, Part for the Hole, is about a guy who decides to save the National Endowment for the Arts — with a little help from his friends.

The novel is set, in part, in a hotel like the Latchis Hotel, so, as described in a news release, “the author is taking a novel approach to presenting it — with two live readings from the novel, set in a Latchis Hotel room.”

Gould will be joined by “an intrepid cast of local artists and performers in making this a special, unique experience,” writes Latchis Executive Director Jon Potter.

The readings will take place on Friday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 14, at 2 p.m. Seating is limited to 20 patrons for each reading. Tickets are available by following the links from latchis.com.

Admission is by donation ($40 suggested), and every ticket holder will receive a copy of Part for the Hole, a treat delivered by room service, “and other surprises.”

Proceeds benefit the nonprofit Latchis Arts, and the event, Potter writes, “is a celebration of Gould’s work, the importance the arts have in our lives, and the importance of the Latchis Theatre and Hotel to the vibrant Brattleboro community.”
