Author Event at Bear Pond Books with Erika Nichols-Frazer
Join Bear Pond Books in Stowe, Vermont on Saturday, 11/28 from 1pm to 3pm for an author meet & greet book signing event! We are excited to welcome Erika Nichols-Frazer to promote her new short story collection, "No One Will Ever Hear You".
About the Book:
In dazzling prose, No One Will Ever Hear You’s twenty-three short stories show the plights of women discovering their own strength and control. A mother is determined to save her family from imminent nuclear disaster in a world controlled by despots. A woman is repeatedly reborn only to face immense loss over and over, intent on changing her fate. A breast cancer survivor reclaims control over her body. A writer for a satirical news show confronts homophobia while mourning a breakup. Another mother struggles to save her daughter from a deadly mental illness while battling her own traumatic past. Again and again, women discover what they are capable of; what they can endure.
This collection deftly explores themes of loss and grief amidst an increasingly fraught world through a singular voice. The title story, "No One Will Ever Hear You," won the 2019 Noir Nation Golden Fedora Fiction Prize; other stories have been nominated for a Pushcart.
“Erika Nichols-Frazer has written a dazzling collection of short stories that are sharp and cut deep. Her language is so lyrical and yet the stories of loss and love and delusion are heartbreaking in the best possible way. This is a writer who takes her time, who crafts every line even as she takes her reader into the depths, to the places where we all live.”
—Mary Morris, author of The Red House
