Nicole Zelniker on Last Dance

Join Book Culture LIC on Wednesday, January 15th at 6:30pm as we welcome Nicole Zelniker for the launch of her new short story collection, Last Dance.

“Last Dance is the impressive debut short story collection from Nicole Zelniker. With her clear, accessible prose and sharp insights into the human condition, she skillfully illuminates such difficult themes as HIV, eating issues, and mother/daughter dynamics, with an eye that is perceptive and unsettling, but not without redemption. Stories such as ‘Aftermath’, ‘Lucky, ‘ or ‘Hands’ clearly demonstrate her emerging talent.”
– Geraldine Mills, author of Hellkite

“Zelniker’s collection of stories gives voice to the unheard, to the lost, and to those who feel invisible, vulnerable, and are struggling to be embraced. The writing is filled with weighty details and metaphors that make the stories sing.”
– Sandra Fox Murphy, author of Aging Without Grace

“Nicole Zelniker has produced a splendid debut collection of well-crafted, original, wonderfully readable coming-of-age tales. A delightful collection by a gifted storyteller.”
– Jay Neugeboren, author of Imagining Robert

Nicole Zelniker is an editor at The Conversation US and a podcast producer at The Nasiona. She has published several pieces of poetry and short stories as well as ‘Mixed,’ a non-fiction book about race and mixed-race families, and ‘Last Dance,’ a collection of short stories.
