Carmen Maria Machado in conversation with Sarah Braunstein

Given Auditorium, Bixler Art + Music Center, Colby College

Please join us for the Maine Lit Fest Kickoff Event, a FREE conversation between author Carmen Maria Machado and Colby Assistant Professor of Creative Writing and novelist, Sarah Braunstein (author of The Sweet Relief of Missing Children). One of today&#x27;s most ground-breaking young writers, Carmen Maria Machado creates haunting and genre-defying work that blends sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and literary criticism and grips readers from beginning to end. For this Kickoff Event, Machado, best known for her memoir In the Dream House and her award-winning short story collection Her Body and Other Parties, will discuss breaking literary molds, writing queer relationships, embracing the weird, and her writing process and projects. Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the conversation starts at 7 PM. Books will be sold by The Colby Bookstore.
