Glenscott Thomas Copper Brings 'Angels Dance On The Head Of A Pin' To The 2026 Frankfurt Book Fair
Sep 28, 2026
Canada, September 28, 2026 -- GlenScott Thomas Copper will appear at the 2026 Frankfurt Book Fair, signing copies of Angels Dance on the Head of a Pin. The signing runs October 9, 2026, from 5:00–6:00 PM, and October 10, 2026, from 11:30 AM–12:30 PM. Copper will be at The Maple Staple Booth, located in Hall 5.1, Stand D86, at Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1, 60327 Frankfurt am Main.
Bookside Press is supporting the event. The novel at the center of it Angels Dance on the Head of a Pin is a sweeping, immersive story set almost entirely inside the Sky Room, an oval Victorian greenhouse restaurant sitting atop Chicago’s seventeen-story Majestic Hotel, which is days away from demolition. A confrontation unfolds in that empty, abandoned space, and things don’t stay quiet for long.
A violent thunderstorm closes in on the Sky Room. The protagonist works through the space past abandoned fake plants and ebony oak pilasters searching for a character named Willie. Sheet lightning rips across the sky and catches her: perched on a safety parapet, the tails of her trench coat whipping in the gale that rises from Quincy Street below. She’s crouched over a sheer drop; her face washed in jaundiced yellow by a flashing traffic light. Something between surreal and unbearably tense, less about fear than about the choice at its center.
Then lightning strikes, a nearby demolition derrick. The heat blast is enough Willie loses her footing on the wet glazed tile and starts going over. The protagonist launches from a doorway, catching the tail of the trench coat at the last possible second as she slips past the building’s edge. The fabric goes around an arm in a hard twist, a makeshift hawser. What follows isn’t a fight so much as two people refusing to let go of each other above seventeen stories of nothing a fitting glimpse of a story that, underneath it all, is less about violence than about the hope for peace that survives it.
Readers attending the Frankfurt Book Fair can find Copper at The Maple Staple Booth. Those who can’t make it to Germany can pick up Angels Dance on the Head of a Pin on Amazon.
