Books Reading Tonight
Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 10:25 AM
We have two Elizabeths reading tonight.
Out in West Seattle, Elizabeth Austen and Erin Malone read poems about motherhood. Austen is the author of My Uterus, That Party Balloon. Malone is the author of What Sound Does It Make, which is about post-partum life.
And University Book Store hosts Elizabeth Bear, who is a sci-fi author who was written over a dozen novels and several dozens of short stories. I'm not a fan of sci-fi series in general, but I enjoy Bear's standalone novels and her short stories quite a bit. There's a list of her short fiction, with many links to free online copies of stories, here. Try a couple of them and see if they work for you. If so, stop by for the reading. This is the reading of the night.
The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here. And if you're planning on staying in and you're looking for personalized book recommendations, feel free to tell me the books you like and ask me what to read next over at Questionland.
