Join us for a reading and book launch from Karen Brennan's Rabbit in the Moon: The Mexico Stories, just out from Schaffner Press. Set in an unnamed city in Mexico, the nineteen stories in Rabbit in the Moon  reveal startling truths surrounding the varied expat and native inhabitants of a city distinguished by wide class divides and a rich racial and cultural diversity. In her lyrical and naturalistic style, Karen Brennan instills deep empathy to the array of characters that populate her stories; whether expats, artists, street hustlers, faded beauty queens, revolutionaries or wide-eyed tourists, all are imbued with a rich humanity. At times humorous, at times heartbreaking, and always riveting, Rabbit in the Moon will resonate with readers everywhere. 

Books will be for sale after the reading.
