Our latest Book Trailer of the Week is this hilarious spoof for John Wray’s intriguing novel Lowboy. Honored with a 2010 Moby Award for the Best Cameo in a Book Trailer, this awkwardly funny clip features comedian Zach Galifianakis impersonating Wray in possibly the worst and strangest author interview of all time. Watch it now, watch it often, and make sure to check out Wray’s capitivating novel as well. A vivid character study, the story follows 16-year-old Will Heller’s battle with mental illness in what Booklist called “a tour de force of empathy, style, and imagination.” Don’t miss it.
