Goodnight Nobody
Thursday, October 10 at 7 PM

Come celebrate the launch of local author Ethel Rohan’s latest story collection with us this Thursday! Born and raised in Dublin, Rohan won Ireland’s 2013 Bryan MacMahon Short Story Award. Her first story collection Cut Through the Bone was longlisted for the 2010 Story Prize.

Wine and appetizers will be available starting at 6:30 p.m.

Rohan elegantly weaves tattooed women, Irish Army reservists, identical twins, a missing monkey, traumatized girl scouts and more, into a world we all recognize, fear, and can’t help but love. – Siobhan Fallon, author of You Know When the Men Are Gone.

PAUL HARDING
Enon
