Detroit-based modern-day Renaissance man Toby Barlow has just released his second novel, Babayaga and will be in Soho at the McNally Jackson store August 7th at 7pm for a book reading.  More info from Time Out on the event. If you aren’t familiar with the New York advertising veteran, he is a transplant to Detroit as the Chief Creative Director of Team Detroit;

He’s found it easy to connect with other creative people here, where in New York, “every event I went to was (full of) advertising people. If it was an exotic event, there’d be designers there. I didn’t meet journalists. I didn’t meet a lot of writers. Here in Detroit, I find myself with people who are in city hall, people who are starting restaurants, and people who are doing a range of things. It’s pretty easy to put together a team of people who are interested in doing things and have a lot of complementary skills.” -VIA Detroit Free Press
