Posting this again after we (finally) caught a misspelling in an author's name—our fault not theirs, obviously. Please come out and join us if you can!
Just wanted to say we're grateful to every author who gives, in their author bio, some sense of where they're located, because it clues us in as to who we can reasonably ask to read at a CCS event. It saves us both some time (but HEY! If you live far but might be passing through, hit us up!)

For the BW/DR 1976 Issue, I wrote about an unfairly maligned favorite - the remake of King Kong. Insanely good suit acting, dizzyingly beautiful young stars, a goofy sense of humor - and a bleak ending that could only belong to a movie made in 1976 - what’s not to love?
Bright Wall/Dark Room@brightwalldarkroom.com · 3mo agoNew today on the site! The 1976 issue rolls on, with @ambersparks.bsky.social making the case for KING KONG: "To my mind, the 1976 version succeeds better than any other Kong remake, simply because it understands one key idea: King Kong is a story about an ape." (🎨 by @studioralston.bsky.social)
Being part of the fiction jury for the Pulitzer Prize means you read A LOT of books. Inevitably, there’s more excellent work than you can count. Since the prize has been announced, I’m recommending five other books that I read and loved during the process. Read ‘em all!
