The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Seattle writer Catherine Kirkwood celebrates the release of her debut novel, Cut Away (Arktoi Books/Red Hen), around the corner from Elliott Bay at Richard Hugo House. "Erotic, dark, and intense, Kirkwood asks difficult questions about the relationship between appearance and identity in her debut novel of a plastic surgeon's obsession with a young drifter, and the results of her most avid patient's urgent transformation. An original, thrilling debut." - Alexander Chee. Cut Away is the third book produced by Arktoi Books, established in 2006 by Eloise Klein Healy to publish literary work by lesbian writers. Rebecca Brown is a Seattle (and international) treasure, most recently the author of a collection of essays, American Romances (City Lights). "If Rebecca Brown's talent for prose were any tighter, it would be a lyric—to a pop standard. An homage—a ménage—to America, exposing what's laid bare in a comic, tragic redux. I laughed till it hurt." - Van Dyke Parks. Free admission. Richard Hugo House is at 1634 Eleventh Avenue. For more information, please see www.hugohouse.org, or call (206) 322-7030. Hugo House will also host a benefit reading for the A Room of Her Own Foundation, with Catherine Kirkwood, Barb Johnson, and others on July 10. For more, see www.aroomofherownfoundation.org.
