An official release party for THE LOST TIKI PALACES OF DETROIT, just out with WSU Press! LTPOD is a collection of short stories of interest to thrifters, tikiphiles, mid-century lovers, and the like. If you liked Michael Zadoorian's first novel SECOND HAND, check out THE LOST TIKI PALACES OF DETROIT. Cover by world-renowned Detroit artist (and tiki lover) Glenn Barr.

“Zadoorian knows the streets and side streets and alleyways of his city and its surround; better, he knows the humor, the sadness, and the sometimes hidden beauty of life in the Rust Belt, and he pins it down on the page with wonderful precision.”
—Paul Clemens, author of Made in Detroit
