DAO STROM
Friday, June 23 at 7:30 p.m.

Up from Austin and making this welcome return is fiction writer Dao Strom. Her debut book of stories tied into the Vietnamese immigrant experience in the U.S., Grass Roof, Tin Roof, was a gem. She is here this evening with a new collection, The Gentle Order of Girls and Boys (Counterpoint). "The Gentle Order of Girls and Boys cuts to the quick of what it means to be alive and burdened with a human heart. With exquisite brushstrokes and piercing accuracy, Dao Strom brings us face to face with the parts of our intimate selves we are so often running up against and at the same time, truly wish to forget." - Holiday Reinhorn. "There is an underlying current running through these stories that pulls you into a world populated by strong, wise, and displaced women. Dao Strom has a rare talent—the ability to capture feelings and thoughts you don't think can be described and convey them in elegant prose." - Vendela Vida.
