literature Oct. 12: Kathleen Alcott at Copperfield's Debut Dinners
Posted by Leilani Clark on Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 5:08 PM
Alcott is a young writer, but you wouldn't know it from this gripping, beautifully written debut novel. The Petaluma native, who now lives in New York, writes with the confidence of someone who's been fine-tuning her work for a long while. Recently, Alcott told Brad Listi, host of the Other People podcast, that she'd decided to dedicate herself to writing completely after dropping out of college. Within a few years, she'd published on The Rumpus, and in notable literary journals American Short Fiction and Slice Magazine. Soon, she had an agent and set to work finishing a novel that had been relegated to the "unfinished" pile. The result is a dark story, one that the reader may want to look away from at times, about those we love and those we take advantage of and those we just can't live without.
This Copperfield's Debut Dinner with Kathleen Alcott takes place on Friday, October 12 at Risibisi. 154 Petaluma Blvd. North, Petaluma. 6pm. $65 ticket includes dinner and a book. 707.823.8991 ex215
