On Saturday, April 27, from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. author Erin McGraw will read from her new collection, Joy and 52 other Very Short Stories at Christ Church. Following the reading, McGraw will join in a moderated discussion and sign copies of her book. Publisher's Weekly gave Joy a stared review, writing: "This quintessential collection of stories serves as an homage to the form while showcasing McGraw’s stunning talent and deep empathy for the idiosyncrasies, small joys, and despairs of human nature."

Copies of Joy and 52 other Very Short Stories are available now at Wordsworth Books and will also be available at the Arkansas Literary Festival. For more information please contact Ragan at rsutterfield@christchurchlr.org.
