Six Bridges Book Festival: Kevin Brockmeier / Stacey Yu

Moderated by Michael Cook

Six Bridges Book Festival presents Kevin Brockmeier (The Ghost Variations) and Stacey Yu (Kitten). Moderated by Michael Cook.

Kevin Brockmeier

Kevin Brockmeier is the author of nine books of (mostly) fiction, most recently a collection of one hundred very short ghost stories called The Ghost Variations. He has participated in the Six Bridges Book Festival each year since its inception. His work has been translated into eighteen languages, and he divides his time between Little Rock, where he was raised, and Iowa City, where he is a professor at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.  
 
Brockmeier will read a short excerpt from a work in progress. 

Stacey Yu

Stacey Yu is a Chinese American writer. She grew up between Texas, Arkansas, and California and currently lives in London. Kitten is her debut novel.

Kitten is an enchanting debut novel about a young woman whose growing obsession with her boyfriend’s cat opens new possibilities for her life—but not without threatening to unravel it.
