Literati presents a reading with Greg Schutz on Friday, March 14 at 6:30pm to celebrate the launch of his book, Joyriders.
In this debut collection, tangled bonds of love and family collide with a natural world both fragile and ferocious. Set across the Midwest and rural Appalachia, the stories in Joyriders offer a resonant vision of rural and small-town life: lonely, half-haunted landscapes are pierced with moments of light, and even the most taciturn faces conceal inner worlds both rich and strange. Comfort and heartache abound—entangled, inseparable. Characters’ paths repeatedly bend in unforeseen directions, and the shape of each story surprises—illuminating, in this way, the surprising contours of entire lives.
Greg Schutz’s stories have appeared in numerous literary journals, including Ploughshares, Story, and American Short Fiction, and have been listed among the distinguished stories of the year by both Best American Short Stories and Best American Mystery Stories.
Literati is located at 124 E. Washington, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
