Short King Story Hour: Things I Have Loved by Sophia Hembeck

We are overjoyed to welcome Sophia Hembeck herself as the guest reader this month! She will be reading from her last essay collection, Things I Have Loved.

Here at Typewronger, we love a short king-- a sharp and snappy piece of prose that draws us in and leaves us changed. This new book group will highlight a different short story or essay collection each month, and you don't need to read anything in advance! Simply turn up to the shop and sit back while a story or essay is read aloud, and then everyone is welcome to linger to explore the story further or disappear into the other stories on the shelves. We loved being read to as kids, and we want to share that delight with folks of all ages!

Sophia is a bilingual author and interdisciplinary artist living in Edinburgh. She studied playwriting & dramaturgy at the University of the Arts in Berlin and has released three essay collections in English (Things I Have Noticed, Things I Have Loved, Things I Have Changed). In her weekly Substack newsletter, The Muse Letter, she writes about the strangeness of life.
