Join prize winning author, Lori Ostlund, as she reads from her debut fiction collection, The Bigness of the World. Dorothy Allison praises Ostlund, saying: “This is a book to remake our imaginary landscape—the kind of book I
not only recommend, I advocate. Read this, I want to tell people. You
need these stories. You do.” In prose highlighted by both satire and poignant observation, Ostlund
offers characters that represent a different sort of everyman—men and
women who poke fun at ideological rigidity while holding fast to good
grammar and manners, people seeking connections in a world that seems
increasingly foreign. Come to the reading and then join us on October 27th to discuss the book in the Queer Literary Fiction Book Group!
