Because I Wanted to Write You a Pop Song: Stories, Paperback/Kara Vernor

Descriere

The characters in this collection of 21 short fictions hum with restlessness. They pine for lost loves and pop music romances, Hollywood heartthrobs, and sunnier towns. They flee from failed relationships and looming violence, adulthood and other deaths. Written with dark humor and incisive, voice-driven prose, Kara Vernor's stories will stick in your head like a song. About the Author: Kara Vernor's fiction has appeared in Gigantic Sequins, PANK, No Tokens, The Los Angeles Review, and elsewhere. She has been a Best Small Fictions finalist, a Pushcart Prize nominee, and a Mendocino Coast Writers' Conference Estelle Frank Fellow. She is currently an Elizabeth George Foundation scholar at the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts, and she cohosts Get Lit, a quarterly reading series in San Francisco's North Bay.
