A Reading & Conversation with Kirstin Valdez Quade

VOC KVQ 500Host Katherine Hill

National Book Foundation 5 under 35 author Kirstin Valdez Quade reads from her award-winning debut story collection, Night at the Fiestas. Followed by a conversation with author and essayist Katherine Hill.

“These stories are frankly some of the finest I have ever read…Kirstin Valdez Quade writes with life-loving precision, tenderness, and grace. These stories, set among the adobes and piñons and mesas of Northern New Mexico, are deeply compassionate hymns of longing, for respect for family, even when it’s broken, and ultimately for redemption, whether it can be found or not. I put these stories, and this is not hyperbole, in the company of Alice Munro’s, John Cheever’s, and Anton Chekov’s. Night at the Fiestas and Kirstin Valdez Quade are gifts to us all.” —Andre Dubus III
