Why: “Mr. Peanut needed help. He had the dimpled gray-beige peanut torso, insect stick legs, and bad eyesight. In one eye, at least. No balls to speak of, sexless, a eunuch, and he couldn’t see or walk without the use of a cane. Help that dude. And why the top hat? He’s asking for it.” So actor, author, director, and musician David Duchovny, the X-Files star who played a novelist in the Showtime series Californication for seven seasons, writes on the first page of his second book, Bucky F*cking Dent, the follow-up to his debut, Holy Cow (now available in trade paperback), both of which reference baseball in their titles, for those not familiar with Yankees lore. On April 12, Duchovny will be at the B&N at Union Square, speaking with Bill Goldstein, book reviewer for NBC and other outlets. The event begins at 7:00; priority seating will be given to attendees who purchase the new novel. Shortly after his book tour, Duchovny will be heading to Europe for eleven May gigs in support of his 2015 album, Hell or Highwater.
