Kevin Grauke reads from “Shadows of Men,” where the author explores what it means to be a man in the 21st century. Comical and poignant, his characters flounder about in typical male fashion but somehow make us trust their sincerity and, oddly, their heroism.“Kevin Grauke is our post-Hemingway. Shadows of Men is In our Time after the swamp has become a subdivision. Grauke writes from deep inside his fraught, clear-eyed protagonists.” Debra Monroe, author of The Source of Trouble and On the Outskirts of Normal.

Shaun Haurin reads from “Public Displays of Affectation,” in which the stories feature remarkably true-to-life characters coping with our postmodern culture. The characters are continually trying to reinvent themselves to find their place in the world. “….a subtle and emotionally complex examination of the ties that bind.” Philadelphia Inquirer.
