SUMMARY:Alix Ohlin - We Want What We Want
DESCRIPTION:Book Passage Presents \nSat.\, September 18\, 2021 • 1:00pm PT • Live • Online \nBUY THE BOOK  WATCH HERE\nSUBSCRIBE TO OUR E-NEWSLETTER\n\nThis event will be broadcast live and does not require registration to attend. To view\, please click the “Watch Here” button at the time of the event\, or subscribe to our e-newsletter to receive a ten-minute reminder.\nA collection of glittering\, surprising\, darkly funny stories of people testing the boundaries of their lives from Alix Ohlin\, award-winning author of Dual Citizens. \nIn the mordantly funny “Money\, Geography\, Youth\,” Vanessa arrives home from a gap year volunteering in Ghana to find that her father is engaged to her childhood best friend. Unable to reconcile the girl she went to dances with in the eighth grade and the woman in her father’s bed\, Vanessa turns to a different old friendship for her own\, unique diversion. \nIn the subversive “The Brooks Brothers Guru\,” Amanda drives to upstate New York to rescue her gawky cousin from a cult\, only to discover clean-cut\, well-dressed men living in a beautiful home\, discussing the classics\, and drinking sophisticated cocktails\, moving her to wonder what freedoms she might willingly trade away for a life of such elegant comfort. \nAnd in “The Universal Particular\,” Tamar welcomes her husband’s young stepcousin into their home\, imagining they are saving this young woman from Somalia by way of Stockholm\, only to find their cool suburban life of potlucks and air-conditioning knocked askew in ways they cannot quite understand. \nPopulated with imperfect families\, burned potential\, and inescapable old flames\, the thirteen stories in We Want What We Want are\, each one\, diamond-sharp—sparkling with pain\, humor\, and beauty. \nAlix Ohlin is the author of six books\, including the novel Dual Citizens\, which was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker\, The Best American Short Stories\, and many other places. She lives in Vancouver\, where she is the Director of the UBC School of Creative Writing.
