These vivid and rewarding short stories bear witness to the intimate details and subtle revelations of daily life. Set mostly in Gallagher’s native Pacific NW, they contain the lives of loggers, bartenders, bear wrestlers, gamblers, Avon ladies, horse whisperers, and hairdressers—all encountered with generosity and heart.
Poet, fiction writer, and essayist Tess Gallagher is the author of eight volumes of poetry, and has also spearheaded the publication of her late husband Raymond Carver’s Beginners in Library of America’s complete collection of his stories.
Start: 7:00 pm
