KELLY LINK reading & book signing for Magic for Beginners Wednesday, September 20 at 7 pm
Magic for Beginners is Kelly Link’s follow-up to her acclaimed debut, Stranger Things Happen. “Cumulatively weirder and wiser” (The Believer), this new story collection riffs on zombies, marriage, witches, superheroes, haunted convenience stores, and weekly apocalyptic poker parties. Call it kitchen sink magical realism, fantastic, bizarre, funny or down to earth, there is something for everyone in this genre bending tour-de-force.
Time Out New York called Links’ stories “cross-genre gems,” and her admirers in the literary community - from Peter Straub and Karen Joy Fowler to Alice Sebold and Michael Chabon - reflect the amazing range that makes her style so special. Link’s stories have appeared in The Best American Short Stories, McSweeney’s Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales, Conjunctions, and elsewhere.
