Stacey Levine with Paul Constant
Local author Stacey Levine returns to the store to discuss her newest novel Mice 1961. Local arts journalist and friend of the store Paul Constant will join Stacey in conversation.
Mice 1961 recounts a pivotal day in the fraught relationship of two orphaned sisters through the eyes of their obsessively observant housekeeper. Will Jody be able to cope if her younger sibling Mice, subject to constant harassment in their community for her unusual appearance and habits, leaves home? How will their all-watching companion convey her fierce attachment to them both? When they cross paths with an unsettling stranger at a neighborhood party, the three women are driven toward momentous changes. Set in southern Florida at the peak of Cold War hysteria, Mice 1961 is a powerful meditation on belonging and separateness, conformity and otherness.
Hailed by the San Francisco Bay Guardian as "one of the most interesting writers working in America today," Stacey Levine is the author of four previous books, has received a PEN Fiction Award and a Stranger Genius Award for Literature, and has twice been shortlisted for a Washington State Book Award.
Paul Constant writes about books and bookstores for the Seattle Times, and his writing has appeared in many publications including Business Insider, Lit Hub, and the Los Angeles Times. In addition to his work as a fellow for the public policy incubator Civic Ventures, he is the author of comic books including Planet of the Nerds and Snelson: Comedy Is Dying.
