Equal parts brilliant family saga and piercing political drama, The Complex is a virtuosic novel of revenge and redemption, ambition and undoing, loyalty and love, by one of the most lauded voices in contemporary fiction.At nineteen, Susie Vogelman should be coasting: she’s an NYU dropout with no responsibilities, endless prescription pills, and a Brentwood estate to waste away in. But Los Angeles has other plans. A string of brutal murders targeting addicts spreads through the city, and Susie’s ivory tower begins to crumble. The headlines point too close to home: her father’s ties to an opioid empire, a sinister secret society, and her own complicity in the systems holding it all together.Then there’s Peter Holiday, a disgraced professor running a rehab scam so audacious it’s almost admirable. When their lives collide, Susie and Peter are dragged into a web of privilege, corruption, and violence, where every escape leads deeper into the rot.Dark, satirical, and razor-sharp, K*ll Dick is a modern literary thriller that unflinchingly dissects wealth, exploitation, and the perilous line between survival and self-destruction.Luke Goebel is an acclaimed author and screenwriter celebrated for his unflinching honesty and innovative storytelling. A recipient of the prestigious Ronald Sukenick Innovative Fiction Prize and the Joan Scott Memorial Fiction Award, his debut novel, Fourteen Stories, None of Them Are Yours, garnered critical acclaim for its innovative and precisely lyrical, profoundly resonant exploration of love, grief, and the restless search for identity. Goebel also co-wrote Eileen, starring Anne Hathaway and McKenzie Thompson, and Causeway, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry (who received an Oscar nomination for his performance). He is known as well as his role as co-editor at The New York Tyrant and work with Tyrant Books. He lives in Portland, OR with his wife, fellow author Ottessa Moshfegh. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/washington/hybrid-event-kll-dick-luke-goebel/100001985473325163 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art, Entertainment, Theatre, Workshops, performances, virtual - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 38.84, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Washington - **state**: DC - **country**: United States - **location**: East City Bookshop - **lat**: 38.88456060000001 - **long**: -76.9968836 - **full address**: East City Bookshop, 645 Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast, Washington, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Hybrid Event: K*ll Dick, Luke Goebel - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/f08519fac7c12147db3801884356d0c5bd770257694da74bb0a9e5e650cb2745-rimg-w1200-h600-dcde656a-gmir.jpg?v=1774229792 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Hybrid Event: K*ll Dick, Luke Goebel being held? - **A:** Hybrid Event: K*ll Dick, Luke Goebel takes place on Wed, 06 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 06 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm at East City Bookshop, 645 Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast, Washington, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Hybrid Event: K*ll Dick, Luke Goebel? - **A:** Tickets for Hybrid Event: K*ll Dick, Luke Goebel are priced at USD 39 per person.
