Sunny's Bookshop - Located inside our floral shop Shades of Petals (Tarzana, CA)

Join us to celebrate the release of the short story collection HOW WE KNOW OUR TIME TRAVELERS from author Anita Felicelli! Anita will be in conversation with Lisa Locascio Nighthawk for this special night of reading, signing, and Q&A.

ABOUT HOW WE KNOW OUR TIME TRAVELERS

How We Know Our Time Travelers: Stories, is a dark, intellectual, and surreal collection inspired by the uncertainty of time that explores themes of technology, climate change, reality, love and loss. Atmospheric, speculative stories examine our post-pandemic reality and future. Anita Felicelli introduces readers to a bickering couple who use an app to track their fights in “Keeping Score,” a woman who learns that an unseen lodger is in her home in “A Minor Disturbance,” a group of creepy friends who sell jars of fog in “The Fog Catchers,” and a woman who encounters a younger version of her own husband at her art exhibition in the title story. Time travel, as the book envisions it, happens all the time, if not in the way we’re used to considering it. Unsettling, uncanny, cerebral and genre-bending, the book reminds us of the fragility and unreliability of memory, and its invisible impact on the larger moments of our lives.
