Los Angeles readers: On September 19, recent Rumpus interviewee Tom Barbash will discuss Stay Up With Me with fellow Rumpus contributor Matthew Specktor.
The stories within this collection dig into the difficulties of humans making connections with each other. A newly single mother and her son. A young man and elderly homeowners. A husband and wife in a mythical marriage. In the conversation, Tom and Matthew will unpack Tom’s development of these characters and their relationships.
Vroman’s Bookstore is hosting the event. The conversation begins at 7 p.m.
