Iowa City people:
Things you should do (as if you aren’t doing enough already):
1. Lindsay Hunter (pictured, right), whose story collection Daddy’s is a long-time Monkfish Jowls favorite, is reading at The Motley Cow at 5 PM Thursday the 29th.
2. Amelia Gray (pictured, left), whose novel Threats got a B+ from Entertainment Weekly (but it’s betta than that!), is reading with a bunch of other people (including Nel Okparanta and Kevin Brockmeier) at 3 PM Saturday the 31st at The Mill (where Amelia once got “banned for life” but I guess the hatchet has been buried).
All kinds of other lit things going on during the Mission Creek Fest, including a small press book fair on Saturday at The Mill with Hobart, featherproof, n+1, the Iowa Review, and others. Undergrads should come bearing manuscripts for the editors to read.
See y’all.
