Roundabout Books is excited to announce that New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune will be joining us at an event on January 17 at 4:00 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon to discuss his new novel, The Stars Look Like Home, a triumphant story about a dog on a grand adventure to make the most of the life he’s been given.
A promise: The dog does not die in this novel.
As a puppy, Burke’s mother told him that dogs’ lives are like the stars in the sky: An everlasting light in the darkness. And so, naturally, Burke believes he will live forever. When he discovers the truth—that he barely has any time at all—he sets out to make the absolute most of life and all it has to offer. Try as he might to make every day count, he’s shuffled from one place to another, from family homes to training programs.
Until, at last, he finds the man he knows he’s meant to share that life with. But when they’re tragically separated, Burke, a shollie from the suburbs, is sent on an incredible journey through the wilderness, a journey that leads him to the very heart of what it means to have a place in the world, for what little time we’re here.
TJ Klune is the #1 New York Times and #1 USA Today bestselling, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, Under the Whispering Door, In the Lives of Puppets, the Green Creek Series for adults, The Extraordinaries Series for teens, and more. Being queer himself, Klune believes it’s important—now more than ever—to have accurate, positive queer representation in stories.
