Dan Chaon To Visit R.J. Julia Tonight

Event will begin at 7 p.m.

 

Stay Awake will pay a visit to tonight, Tuesday, at 7 p.m., to present his book of short stories.

"It almost reads like a novel in fragments. Although each story contains different characters, there's an unsettling thematic commonality among them."
