Join us on June 22nd at noon at our Macy's location in downtown Chicago for a signing of Ananda Lima's book "Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil"!At a Halloween party in 1999, a writer slept with the devil. She sees him again and again throughout her life, and she writes stories for him about things that are both impossible and true. Lima lures readers into surreal pockets of the United States and Brazil, where they’ll find bite-sized Americans in vending machines and the ghosts of people who are not dead. Once there, she speaks to modern Brazilian-American immigrant experiences—of ambition, fear, longing, and belonging—and reveals the porousness of storytelling and of the places we call home.
With humor, an exquisite imagination, and a voice praised as “singular, wise, and fresh” by Cathy Park Hong, Lima joins the literary lineage of Mikhail Bulgakov and Clarice Lispector and the company of writers today, such as Ted Chiang, Carmen MariaMachado, and Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah.
We kindly request that if you would like your book signed, it must be purchased at Barbara’s Bookstore. To ensure a smooth and efficient signing process, please present your receipt as proof of purchase.
