The Jungle Around Us: Stories by Ann Raeff
After the Parade by Lori Ostlund

Join us for an evening with two Flannery O'Connor prize winners as they are interviewed by the author of one of the most popular debuts of 2015. Jan Ellison, author of A Small Indiscretion, will lead what's sure to be a deep and engaging discussion between Anne Raeff, author of the upcoming collection The Jungle Around Us, and Lori Ostlund, author of the incredibly well received After the Parade.

Though very different, both books deal with issues and emotions important to today: embracing the world though the world contains everything we fear; displacement and private grief made public; how we grow up and move on; and how we can change our deepest wounds into our greatest strengths.

This much talent and depth in the room - with authors loved by Richard Russo; Hanya Yanighara, bestselling author of A Little Life; Yiyun Li; Ann Packer; Emma Donoghue; and more - guarantees nothing short of an unforgettable evening.
