Chaucer's Books

Chaucer’s Books (3321 State Street) will host actor, author, and Santa Barbara local Timothy James Bottoms for a book talk and signing on Wednesday, April 19 at 6 p.m.
Book Description- Timothy James Bottoms has written a love letter to Santa Barbara. While he may be best known for his award-winning performances in front of the camera, do not be misled into thinking, for even a moment, that he is a lightweight writer. Mr. Bottoms’ deft hand has spun a lovely coming-of-age story that will hold you spellbound. His sense of place, as well as the descriptions of sound, the visuals, and the narrative, will carry you along on the journey of a little boy, as he grows into a big boy over just one day. The Pier is so well done, that I could hear the sounds of the gulls fighting over bait, and smell the salt-filled fog that surrounded the pier, all while feeling the same trepidation I felt the first time I journeyed out alone. The Pier is a marvelous yarn, that will take you back to your own special days of growing up in a perfect place. It is the best Sunday read I have found in a very long time.  Via the author
 About the Author-While Timothy James Bottoms is a well-known actor (“The Last Picture Show”, “The Paper Chase”, “Rollercoaster”,  “Elephant”),  “The Pier” is his first foray into the book world.  He currently lives on the Central Coast of California.
