The Living Writers Reading Series presents Jaimy Gordon. Jaimy Gordon’s “fantasy” novel, Shamp of the City-Solo, gathered an underground following, and is regarded as one of the finest comic novels in the last fifty years. Her most recent book, Lord of Misrule, won the National Book Award for fiction.
