'Children of the Neon Bamboo' signing

Prose author and filmmaker B. Glynn Kimmey will sign copies of his book "Children of the Neon Bamboo" from 12-4 on Saturday, Aug. 23 at Speeding Bullet Comics, 614 N. Porter Ave. in Norman, OK.

Book description: Wryly surreal— Funny and serious at the same time, a Gen-Xer stumbles through his retelling of the wild, summer adventure of 1990 when in the pursuit of the new Sega Genesis he and a friend entangle themselves in a cross-country fight over a long-lost ancient samurai sword, connecting memorable characters from across history with the aesthetics of the era. Refugees, ninjas, nerds, musicians, soldiers, Dungeon Masters, karate instructors, and beauticians come together for a curious blend of 80s Japanese influenced pop culture and Mid-American grunge. Mountain Dew Moby Dick, literary vaporwave, high-topped Hunter S. Thompson, Taco Bell Tom Sawyer.
