Downtown Owl

Downtown Owl

Description

There are no owls (the feathery kind) in this book. Chuck Klosterman’s first novel takes place in the fictional small town of Owl, North Dakota. The title is literal (it refers to a place that also happens to not sound like a place); it is also slang for someone who hangs out at bars all night, a “night owl.” 

Juror Notes

The die-cut really encourages you to pick up the book and look.
