Austinist Interviews Owen Egerton …While the book itself is worthy of celebration, so too is its author. Egerton is one of Austin’s renaissance men. That’s not just because he will occasionally doff tights and speak in a funny accent for the betterment of his fellow Austinites, but also because he does so much stuff. Whether as a writer, a comedic performer, a contributor to public radio, or a marriage rights activist, Egerton has been able to influence and be a part of many of the vital scenes that make up this city’s rich cultural landscape.
Owen Egerton paints life black with humor: Owen Egerton, one of the funniest guys in Austin, a founding member of the Sinus Show comedy team, has just published his first collection of short fiction — and every single story involves death. Death at a spelling bee. Death denied to a weary lazurus in 21st-century New York City. Death and a Christmas puppy.
