Adam O'Fallon Price, OBJECTS OF DESIRE: Stories

At this event, Price will talk with author Jaime Green about his new story collection that shows us how the aching, often desperate, pull of wanting can unsettle our lives. The characters in this collection are consistently reaching for something more, only to miss the mark in quiet but irreversible ways.
