AMY BLOOM
Wednesday, March 26 at 7:30 p.m. at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, 104 Seventeenth Avenue S

Presented by NEXTBOOK. If you missed Amy Bloom's reading at Elliott Bay this past autumn, here's another chance to see and hear her read from her much-acclaimed recent novel, Away (Random House). This tale of twenty-two-year-old Lillian Leyb, survivor of a Russian pogrom, begins in New York, but eventually takes her to the Pacific Northwest, and then north. "Encompassing prison, prostitution and poetry, Yiddish humor and Yukon settings, Bloom's tale offers linguistic twists, startling imagery, sharp wit, and a compelling vision of the past. Bloom has created an extraordinary range of characters, settings, and emotions." - Publishers Weekly. Information and tickets ($8/$6 students & under 25) are available from Nextbook at www.nextbook.org, or at the door. The Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center is located at 104 Seventeenth Avenue South (at Yesler).
