Words! Images! Music! Come celebrate the new Hoot ‘n’ Waddle book Desert Fox By The Sea with the author Christine Sloan Stoddard and special guest readers curated by Quail Bell Magazine! Projected images and music will accompany the reading at Quimby’s Bookstore in Williamsburg.
“Through the voices of a diverse cast of women, simultaneously real and mythological, Christine Sloan Stoddard’s Desert Fox by the Sea addresses issues of racism, sexism, shame, social inequality, personal identity—all in gorgeous verse and riveting prose. These are tales of modern tragedy, unflinching in their struggle, honesty, and art.”
