Leslie Pietrzyk in Conversation with Susan Tekulve

Hub City Bookshop will be hosting author Leslie Pietrzyk for a reading, signing, and conversation celebrating the release of her new short story collection “Admit This to No One.” Leslie teaches in the low-residency MFA program at Converse, and she will be joined in conversation by Susan Tekulve, Associate Professor of English at Converse and author of the essay collection “Second Shift.”

Set in Washington, D.C., the stories in Pietrzyk’s collection explore issues of power and policy, oppression and opportunity, family and fairness. Starring a cast of female characters, all of whom exist in the orbit of an influential man, the book engages issues that radiate outward from our nation’s capital, inflecting and defining our broader cultural debates.

Come out to the Bookshop at 6pm on Thursday, January 20th for what’s sure to be a thought-provoking conversation! This event is free and open to all.
