August 5-9, 2016: Three New England Appearances by Margaret Malone!

"The nine stories in Margaret Malone's People Like You constantly beguile and surprise. With Chekhov they share both compassion and brevity; they share with Carver and Beattie a confidence in the unforced sentiment of unadorned prose; and in their matter-of-fact humor, which is often laugh-out-loud funny, they tap a long tradition of American humorists stretching from Mark Twain to Lorrie Moore."
--PEN/Hemingway Award Finalist citation
(judges Joshua Ferris, Alexandra Marshall, and Jay Parini)

Winner of the Balcones Fiction Prize
Named a best book of the year by: 
The Oregonian
The Portland Mercury 
Powell's Books
The Quivering Pen

"I love this book beyond measure."
-CHERYL STRAYED
