Laura van den Berg with Special Guests for I HOLD A WOLF BY THE EARS

Laura van den Berg joined us to celebrate the launch of her latest story collection, I Hold a Wolf by the Ears, with authors Danielle Evans, Lauren Groff, Kristen Arnett, Karen Russell, and Jennine Capó Crucet.

I Hold a Wolf by the Ears presents a dark, unsettling world of the real turned fantastical, the everyday turned sinister with Laura van den Berg’s trademark jagged humor and mastery of the form. The women of these eleven stories are haunted–by their past, by grief, by erasure–vulnerable, and thrillingly unpredictable as they navigate strange relationships and liminal spaces, revealing their private fears in captivating and endlessly unconventional ways. If you missed her launch extravaganza with Danielle Evans, Lauren Groff, Kristen Arnett, Karen Russell, and Jennine Capó Crucet, you can catch it here.
