About this Event
Boswell Book Company presents an evening with prizewinning Wisconsin writer Kimberly Blaser, who visits with her latest book, Red Ants: Stories. In her bold and genre-defying prose debut, Blaeser explores alienation, displacement, and loneliness elevated through the precision of language, fierce emotional intelligence, and the haunting sense of place that permeates every page. She will be in conversation with Chris Fink.
