Benjamin Parzybok
Let's not mince words: Couch is the most exciting,
original debut novel to be released this fall. Benjamin Parzybok, a
Portland writer and web designer, has written a book about one of the
most annoying, uninteresting scenarios you can imagine—three
apathetic young men moving an unwanted couch—and somehow
turned it into a globe-spanning fantasy epic. Through all the
battles with gun-toting villains and shark attacks, Couch
tells a story of heroism and valor and outrageous acts, and somehow
makes it all believable and touching. (Elliott Bay Book Company, 101
S Main St, 624-6600. 7:30 pm, free.) PAUL CONSTANT
