Join us for a conversation with Carleigh Baker, Debbie Bateman, and Shashi Bhat who will read from their exciting new story collections and discuss how they use the short form to grapple with some of the most pressing issues of our times such as bodily autonomy, consent, white supremacy, the climate crisis, aging, grief, disability, and loneliness.
Whether it’s Baker’s harrowing and satirical disaster tales in Last Woman, Bateman’s raw portraits of middle-age women and their bodies in Your Body Was Made for This, or Bhat’s unflinching take on dating and relationships in Death by a Thousand Cuts, these urgent and timely stories offer visceral, biting, and often humorous depictions of contemporary life.
