Christopher Rowe to read at Joseph-Beth Adair County native, ACHS Graduate, and estwhile Columbia! Magazine columnist Christopher Rowe will read from the new short fiction anthology "Trampoline" at 7 p.m. EST, Thursday, August 7, in Lexington, Kentucky. The reading will be held at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in the Mall at Lexington Green shops on Nicholasville Road, and will also feature the editor of the volume, acclaimed author Kelly Link, and another contributor, Ohio writer Chris Barzak. Rowe's story "The Force Acting on the Displaced Body," in which the main character starts out in Adair County and ends up in Paris, France, leads the volume. Rowe said, "I invite all my friends, family and fellow Adair Countians to attend this reading. You have all been a tremendous influence on my writing and I'm glad I grew up in a place that has given me so many stories to tell." "Trampoline" is published by Small Beer Press and is expected to receive attention nationwide from media outlets, bookstores and readers. The book is officially available in August, and has already been reviewed by the Washington Post. More information about "Trampoline" is available on the Small Beer Press website. Christopher Rowe will also have a short story in an upcoming anthology aimed at young adults from Simon and Schuster, "Swan Sister: Fairy Tales Retold," and he was the youngest writer in attendance at the prestigious invitation-only Sycamore Hill Writer's Conference outside Asheville, North Carolina. Other attendees included National Book Critics Circle Award winner Jonathan Lethem and Pen Faulkner Award nominee Karen Joy Fowler. In addition, Small Beer Press plans to release a chapbook in November featuring several of Rowe's stories, called "Bittersweet Creek." The books will be available from local bookstores, and books with Rowe's stories can be ordered directly from Amazon.com here: A review of "Trampoline" appears at "Green Man Reviews," and Rowe's latest short story is linked from this page at The Infinite Matrix. More information about Rowe is avaiable in these previous ColumbiaMagazine.com stories:
And while many use his earlier body of work to argue a fait accompli, we like to think that it was this series of articles in Columbia! Magazine that launched Rowe into the higher levels of publishing:
