So I've been enjoying hearing Kelly Link speak in workshop and lecture after lunch, but I've never heard her read her own work aloud. Tonight Kelly read at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore, and the place was packed! Shweta from Clarion class of '07 was there with her husband and other friends. Kelly read "The Wrong Grave" from her newest short story collection for young adults, Pretty Monsters, soon to be out from Viking in the fall. It was hilariously funny. Perhaps my favorite line: "Her hair was not good Buddhist hair."
Clarion tip for the day: If you can, go to the faculty readings. Three of us Clarionites (not myself, unfortunately) won advanced reader copies of Kelly's newest book!
