SUMMARY:Virtual Book Launch Event - Pascha Sotolongo in conversation with Timothy Schaffert - The Only Sound is the Wind: Stories
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Zoom\, on October 3rd at 7:00 PM\, as author Pascha Sotolongo joins in conversation with Timothy Schaffert as they celebrate her new book of stories The Only Sound is the Wind!\nTo register for the event follow the link HERE!\nPre-Order a copy of the book HERE!\n\nAbout the Book:\nIn the tradition of narrativa de lo inusual (narrative of the unusual)\, The Only Sound Is the Wind combines the fantastic with the everyday\, weaving elements of magical realism and surrealist twists to sharpen our view of human (and animal) connection. In the title story\, the arrival of a mail-order clone complicates a burgeoning romance; a lonely librarian longing for her homeland strikes up an unusual relationship in the award-winning “The Moth”; when humans start giving birth to puppies and kittens in “This New Turn\,” a realignment of the natural order ensues; and the narrator of “Chicory” harnesses the power of invisibility to spy on her beautiful neighbor. With a playful tenderness and satirical bent\, The Only Sound Is the Wind is a lyrical exploration of solitude and communion\, opening strange new worlds where characters try to make their way toward love.\n\nAbout the Author:\nPascha Sotolongo is a fiction writer and college English professor who was born and raised in Florida but has called Nebraska home for more than two decades. Given to surrealism and tenderness\, her writing explores themes of poverty\, isolation\, longing\, and invisibility. She is currently finishing a novella set on the High Plains.\n\nPraise for the Book:\nThese stories—these bewitching portraits of a melancholy dystopia—are spellbinding. . . . With this rich collection\, Sotolongo joins the ranks of Margaret Atwood and Cristina Rivera Garza\, and other masters of illusion. — Timothy Schaffert\, author of The Perfume Thief and The Titanic Survivors Book ClubIn this gorgeous debut\, Pascha Sotolongo lyrically blends the fantastical with stories of family\, love\, and longing. Within these pages are vampires\, ghosts\, invisible daughters\, and near apocalypses\, and just as readily\, the stories of our secrets\, our joys\, our fears\, and our dreams. A beautiful and spellbinding collection. — Alexander Weinstein\, author of Universal Love and Children of the New WorldCaptivating. . . . Pascha Sotolongo has written a book that’s simply exceptional\, filled with startling\, surreal\, and utterly spectacular stories that demand to be savored. — Megan Kamalei Kakimoto\, author of Every Drop is a Man’s NightmareSharp and ineffable—these are immersive stories that show us how the familiar world we live in is brimming with shadowy surprises. — Manuel Muñoz\, author of The ConsequencesThe intimate\, incendiary stories in Pascha Sotolongo’s elegantly woven debut collection offer an ode to the grief and exhilaration of diaspora\, probe the delicate shades of gray between solitude and loneliness\, and hinge\, ultimately\, on metamorphosis. The Only Sound is the Wind is a scar shaped like Cuba—a gorgeous scar. — Joy Castro\, author of One Brilliant Flame
