Event with Argo Bookshop and Neon Hemlock: All the Stories We Can't Stay Away From

On Thursday, July 21st, at 8pmEST, Neon Hemlock presents: an evening of shared readings and discussion from Andrea Chapela, Izzy Wasserstein, Elly Bangs, Iori Kusano, Gordon B White, and Emma Törzs (me).

Come hear work from several of my beloved and talented Clarion West classmates and then stay for a panel co-moderated by me and Andrea! It is free and open to the public; you’ll need to RSVP HERE and get a Zoom link.

This event is hosted by Argo Bookshop in Montréal, and is in celebration of Izzy Wasserstein’s fantastic new collection of speculative fiction, All the Hometowns You Can’t Stay Away From. Annalee Newitz called this collection “Inventive, fascinating, and deeply moving,” and I could not agree more. Izzy is a gorgeous writer with an incredible, tender imagination, who manages to rip my heart to shreds while still leaving me hopeful. One of my favorite of her stories, Requiem Without Sound, appears in this collection — and is available to read online if you want a taste!
