Details for the First Housebound Unbound!

As you may know, we’re looking to bring some of the wonderful authors who were going to be coming to Columbia to participate in this year’s festival into your living rooms, via some remote events which we are calling HOUSEBOUND UNBOUND.

The first of these features two fabulous writers, Amber Sparks and Alexander Weinstein, both of whom have recently published acclaimed short story collections of delicious speculative fiction.

Here’s the event description:

In “The Toynbee Convector,” Ray Bradbury shows how extravagant liars can be prophets: show us your vision of the future, and we can make it happen. But they can also be Cassandras who try to warn us away from a terrible fate. In this conversation, Amber and Alexander will discuss how they conceive and construct multiple narrative futures, and how to avert or manifest them.

This event takes place online on Thursday, April 23, at 7:00 p.m. It is, like all Unbound events, completely free to attend. All you need to do is to click this link to register.

We’re excited! And, if we are being honest, a little terrified! Because, technology!- a horror of which seems entirely appropriate, given the subject matter of the conversation..

Here’s the link one more time.

We’ll look forward to seeing you next week!
