7:30 PM – Simon Van Booy: Love Begins in Winter: Five Stories
Elliott Bay Book Co.
“In the five impressionistic stories in Van Booy’s latest collection, the author continues to develop his highly original style and his overriding theme of isolation versus connection. His characters are often terribly lonely, so much so that when they do find love, it is treated as a miraculous occurrence … More about what is felt than what happens, Van Booy’s stories pay beautiful homage to human connection.” – Booklist
