SUMMARY:"Sinkhole and Other Inexplicable Voids" by Leyna Krow in conversation with Aileen Keown Vaux!
DESCRIPTION:Come on down to Auntie’s to enjoy the latest from beloved local author Leyna Krow\, Sinkhole and Other Inexplicable Voids! She will be in conversation with fellow local-ish author Aileen Keown Vaux. \nTuesday\, January 28th at 7PM at Auntie’s Bookstore\n(402 W Main Ave)  \nThis event is free and open to the public.\nRSVP via the button to the right. \nAbout the book \nWhat do we owe our family and friends in times of wild uncertainty? \nThat’s the question the women of Leyna Krow’s beguiling\, darkly fabulist story collection grapple with as they strive to be good mothers\, daughters\, sisters\, grandmothers\, wives\, and companions in a world that is constantly shifting around them. Set in the Pacific Northwest\, these stories blend high concept magic with the sometimes subtle\, other times glaring\, realities of climate change. \nAs protagonists contend with doppelgänger babies\, hordes of time travelers\, mysterious portals\, and supernatural siblings\, there lurks in the background the effects of the region’s rapidly shifting environment. There are wildfires\, wind storms\, unrelenting heat\, disrupted butterfly migration patterns\, a new plague\, and a catastrophe on the slopes of Mount Rainier that reverberates through three generations of a single family over the course of a half dozen linked stories. \nWith Krow’s signature blend of sardonic whimsy and unsettling insight\, Sinkhole\, and Other Inexplicable Voids imagines the rules to be broken\, choices to be made\, and even crimes to be had for the sake of the people\, and places\, we love. \nAbout the author \nLeyna Krow is the author of the novel Fire Season\, which was longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize\, and the short story collection I’m Fine\, But You Appear to Be Sinking\, which was a Believer Book Award finalist. She lives in Spokane\, Washington\, with her husband and two children. \nAbout Aileen Keown Vaux \nAileen Keown Vaux is a queer poet and essayist whose chapbook Consolation Prize was published by Scablands Books. Their poems can be found in Faultline Journal\, Roanoke Review\, Northwest Review\, and Portland Review. They live and work in Portland\, OR.
