SUMMARY:AC Reading Series - Brenda Peynado
DESCRIPTION:Brenda Peynado is a Dominican American writer of fiction\, nonfiction\, and screenplays. She often writes about Latina girlhood\, class\, race\, and commodity culture through literary realism\, magical realism and near-future science fiction. \nHer short story collection\, THE ROCK EATERS\, was published by Penguin Books in March 2021\, and listed as one of NPR.org\, and the New York Public Libraries best books of 2021. Over forty short stories appear in journals such as Tor.com\, The Georgia Review\, The Sun\, Threepenny Review\, Epoch\, Kenyon Review online\, Pleiades\, Prairie Schooner\, and elsewhere.  Her stories have won a Nelson Algren Award from the Chicago Tribune\, an O. Henry Prize\, a Pushcart Prize; inclusion in The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy\, Best Small Fiction\, and Best Microfiction anthologies\, two Vermont Studio Center Fellowships\, and other awards. \n \n \n \n \nBrenda is also the author of the novel Time's Agent: Following humanity’s discovery of pocket worlds\, teams of academics embarked on groundbreaking exploratory missions\, eager to study this new technology and harness the potential of a seemingly limitless horizon. Archeologist Raquel and her wife\, Marlena\, once dreamed that pocket worlds held the key to solving the universe’s mysteries. But forty years later\, pocket worlds are now controlled by corporations squeezing every penny out of all colonizable space and time\, Raquel herself is in disgrace\, and Marlena lives in her own pocket universe (that Raquel wears around her neck) and refuses to speak to her. Standing in the ruins of her dream and her failed ideals\, Raquel seizes one last chance to redeem herself and confront what it means to save something–or someone–from time. \n\n\n\nLocation: Bobbit Visual Arts Center – Auditorium – 113
