Join us for a reading by Rea Visitor Corinna Vallianatos celebrating her new short story collection, Origin Stories, out with Graywolf Press on February 4, 2025. “These dark, devastating stories are love meditations, each offering a secret lesson on how to navigate our new world as woman, daughter, mother, artist. Page-turners each one, full of power, brilliance, and racing energy.”—Deb Olin Unferth
“With the spare, definitive strokes of Matisse’s late portraits, the stories in My Escapee hew precisely to the truth, while rendering a series of expressive and particular female lives. . . . Read together, these stories navigate an intimate landscape of fault lines, of grottoes of emotions, of stark passages and significant crossings. Vivid, whimsical, and restrained, they introduce a mature voice, an affecting and bracing debut.” ---Jhumpa Lahiri
This event will be held at Monroe Hill House, part of Brown College at the University of Virginia. The address is 252 McCormick Road in Charlottesville, and the UVA Central Parking Garage is nearby.
