Pretty Monsters by Kelly Link is the featured literature this autumn, when Staten Island OutLOUD presents The Big Read in our community for the National Endowment for the Arts! A 2018 MacArthur Fellow, Kelly Link’s work has been described as “pushing the boundaries of literary fiction in works that combine the surreal and fantastical with the concerns and emotional realism of contemporary life.”
Her fascinating short story collection, Pretty Monsters, is a kaleidoscope of magical realism, suspense, and flat-out funny!
Our Pretty Monsters series will run from mid-October to mid-December, with events for adults, teens, kids, and intergenerational fun.
