Tens of thousands of words

Local writer, Otter, and friend of the Exile Kurtis Scaletta will be celebrating the release of his second middle grade novel, Mamba Point, tomorrow. On Saturday, he'll conduct a reading and signing at local favorite indie Red Balloon Bookshop in Saint Paul.

Until then, though, if you want to learn all there is to know about the new novel, random image collages, and what Shirley Bassey did to Big Bird, you can watch this trailer. They say "a picture is worth a thousand words." Here, Kurtis proves that pictures are indeed worth far more than a thousand words, and many of them you probably wouldn't have guessed.
