Las Vegas Writes Book Launch and Conversation with the Authors

  • Clark County Library Theatre 1401 E. Flamingo Road Las Vegas, NV (map)

Join Nevada Humanities and the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District for a book reading from Las Vegas Writes, Volume 15, Desert Superbloom: Las Vegas Writers on Scarcity and Abundance, a collection of original essays, stories, and graphic narratives, that portray Las Vegas—a city founded on flaunting so much, while cherishing so little. With unique perspectives on blossoming in the luxurious yet resource-starved Sin City, this 15th volume of the annual Las Vegas Writes series features 15 local writers and artists, portraying a place where money is king, water is scant, and affordable housing is even harder to find than love. This event is free and open to the public.

Contributing Writers: Jennifer Battisti, Christian Bertolaccini, Safiyya Bintali, Nicole Damon, Melissa Gill, Ana Jimenez, Victoria Koelkebeck, Mark Lenker, Paul W. Papa, Shannon Salter, S.G. Tasz, Cynthia Vespia, Autumn Widdoes, and Staci Layne Wilson. Editor, Jarret Keene.
