VOTM: What's the most unusual experience you've had at a reading?
FOWLER: Aside from scaring away Girl Scouts by reading fairy tale poems, that would have to be leaving a huge reading at AWP where Dorothy Allison read a story called "Frog Fucking" and every person walking out of that hall, male and female, appeared to be erotically stirred and ready to find an immediate target for meaningful lovemaking, or otherwise.
HEATHER FOWLER is the author of two collections of magic realism stories, including most recently People with Holes published by Pink Narcissus. Her third collection, This Time While We’re Awake, will be published in spring of 2013.
Come see Heather read at 3rdspace in San Diego on Sunday July 29 at 8pm.
