7:00 PM – Mary Miller, Jonathan Evison, Aaron Burch: Big World / All About Lulu
College Inn Pub
“We had such a great time at The College Inn Pub in May, we’re returning with two fantastic young authors. The always-down-for-a-good-reading Jonathan Evison will be on hand (and reading some of his stellar fiction) to help us welcome the very talented Mary Miller. Miller’s book of short stories, Big World, is a small press wonder—startling, honest tales told in tight, beautiful sentences. Also on hand will be Hobart editor and writer Aaron Burch who will give us a preview of their tenth issue.” (UW Books)
