The High Emission Tour features small press writers who will pile into a car and travel up the California coast. No trees will be planted.
Playfully poking at Flatmancrooked's Zero Emission Book Tour, the High Emission Tour features writers from Featherproof Books (Chicago) and Hobart (Champaign-Urbana) who will pile into a car in Tucson and travel up the California coast, spreading literary mayhem along the way. No trees will be planted.
