Simon Van Booy with Billy O'Callaghan hosted by Carmichael's Bookstore
Authors Simon Van Booy and Billy O'Callaghan discuss Simon's new book, NIGHT CAME WITH MANY STARS.
Available here: www.godine.com/book/night-came-with-many-stars/
In Kentucky, back in 1933, Carol’s daddy lost his 13-year-old daughter in a game of cards. Award-winning author Simon Van Booy’s spellbinding novel spans decades as he tells the story of Carol and the people in her life. Incidents intersect and lives unexpectedly change course in this masterfully interwoven story of chance and choice that leads home again to a night blessed with light.
“What you give in this world,” an old man tells his grandson, “will be given back to you.” Those words illuminate the actions within this unforgettable novel and its connected characters. A young man survives two nearly fatal accidents. A Black family saves an orphaned white boy. A pregnant teenager is rescued by the side of the road. A teenager with developmental disabilities is given his first job. Each incident grows in meaning and power over many decades as we see connections sometimes felt but not always apparent to the people themselves. “Everything was moving,” observes Samuel (Carol’s grandson) in the Kentucky woods. “An invisible force that was everywhere, and made everything touch.”
Told by a master storyteller, Night Came with Many Stars is a rare novel that reveals how wondrous, mysterious, and magically connected life can be-the light Simon Van Booy creates in this novel illuminates our own lives.

    Your book was a gift from my friend from Edinburgh. As a librarian I want you to know that I’m not bothered in the least (well maybe a little sad- the truth hurts) by your feelings regarding librarians and library books. Please keep this a secret, but when I want a book, I go to a bookstore rather than to the library, for the most part. But please don’t tell my colleagues as they would likely be horrified and my reputation entirely ruined. Nonetheless, I so enjoyed your book (and video) and will read the next one! P.S. Thank you for letting us know that Captain put on weight. The same happened to me (I blame it entirely on COVID). And I can’t wait to thank Fiona for your book! Cheers to books and those of us who love them. I’m going to shoot my mother’s old book computer thingy in the back yard and then take it to he toxic recycling center! Thanks for the idea. Oh wait…. Did you receive the Patterson grant? You will likely make me read the next book to find out! And thanks for the permission to write in margins. I’ve done it for years!

    Love your Diary/Confessions books ! As a collector /occasional dealer and book enthusiast, you are providing a service and (clearly) a philosophy that should be held in increasing value and worth in these transitory times. I hope to visit your shop in the next year or so (mortality permitting).
