Bookswap 2.0 with Ruth Galm!
This October, we have invited the fabulous local author Ruth Galm, author of Into the Valley, to join us! Into the Valley is a spare, poetic debut novel, set in the American West of early Joan Didion, tracing the drifting path of a young woman caught between generations as she skirts the law and her own oppressive anxiety. (Soho Press)
+++ Bring a book about an escape. As long as you love it, bring it to Bookswap. Youll talk about it in groups and hear about the books that other people brought. Well drink a bunch of free wine and beer and get to know our guest author. At the end, well have a big, rowdy, white elephant swap, and youll leave with a new favorite (or ten.)

Mesmerizing Galms writing mimics the hyperreality of dreams, and the novels penetrative heat is palpable Underpinning Into the Valley is a subtle and complicated exploration of what it means to be a woman and, more specifically, what it means to be a woman without a man. ELLE Magazine
