Reading By Leni Zumas, Nov. 15

November 10, 2017

Author Leni Zumas will read from her work on Wednesday, November 15, at 7:30 p.m., in the Pilot House bookstore. Zumas is the author of the story collection Farewell Navigator and the novel The Listeners, which was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award. She teaches in the MFA program at Portland State University. Her forthcoming novel, Red Clocks, was selected for Publishers Weekly’s “Top 10 Literary Fiction” list and has been described by Maggie Nelson as “funny, mordant, political, poetic, alarming, and inspiring—not to mention a way forward for fiction now.”

For details follow this link to the English department’s list of readers or contact Lars Larson, English, at larson@up.edu. Please note: Leni Zumas is substituting for the previously scheduled Carmen Maria Machado.
