Location: Regulator Bookshop
Title of Event: John Kessel
John Kessel will read from and sign copies of his new collection of short stories, The Baum Plan for Financial Independence and Other Stories. Kessel writes, "In my recent stories I have tried to let go a little of the rational processes that dominated my fiction for the previous twenty years. I like stories that put the reader in a strange place, that have an aura of mystery, that touch on things that are ineffable.... I suppose another thing I might say about these stories is that I am interested in right and wrong, though I do not always know which is which, and do not feel that they are ever completely separate. I want to understand how people can do awful things, and brave things, and how the consequences of their actions affect them." Kessel is the director of the NCSU creative writing program.
