Wednesday, September 5, 2012 - 477 hits

The newest book by Kenneth Womack, associate dean for academic affairs, is now available for purchase. The Restaurant at the End of the World begins on the morning of September 11, 2001. It takes place at the Windows on the World restaurant, atop the North Tower of the World Trade Center. It is an extensively-researched book based upon the actual people who worked at restaurant, one that will appeal to anyone who has suffered the sudden throes of human tragedy—the loss of a loved one, who, seemingly moments before, was vividly living out their aspirations.

Womack is the author of numerous works of nonfiction, including Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of the Beatles. His first novel, John Doe No. 2 and the Dreamland Motel, won the Bronze Award in ForeWord Reviews' annual Book of the Year competition for literary fiction and was a semifinalist for the James Branch Cabell First Novelist Award.
