Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Tuesday March 7th at 6:30 pm as they welcome John Sayles to the store to discuss and sign Jamie MacGillivray: The Renegade's Journey.

John Sayles is a much-celebrated film director who has made 18 movies, beginning in 1980 when his debut Return of the Secaucus Seven was released. Among the other movies he is known for directing—and often writing as well—are Lianna, Brother from Another Planet, Matewan, Eight Men Out, City of Hope, Sunshine State, Passion Fish and Lone Star, the last two of which earned him Academy Award nominations for Best Original Screenplay. As an author, Sayles has written numerous novels and short stories since 1975, when his first novel, Pride of the Bimbos, appeared. His second novel, Union Dues, was nominated for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Subsequent novels and story collections include At the Anarchist’s Convention, Los Gusanos, Dillinger in Hollywood, A Moment in the Sun, and, in 2020, Yellow Earth. John Sayles divides his time between Los Angeles and Connecticut.

This event is free to attend and will be held in the courtyard at DIESEL, A Bookstore in Brentwood.
