On Tuesday, March 11th at 7 PM (at our Frankfort Ave store), Carmichael's welcomes Kentucky native Paulette Livers for a reading from her haunting debut novel "Cementville."

1969. The coffins are making their way home, along with one remaining survivor: the now-maimed town quarterback recently rescued from a Vietnamese prison camp. The return of the bodies sets off something inside of the town itself —a sense of violence, a political reality, a gnawing unease with the future — and soon, new bodies start turning up around town, pushing the families of Cementville into further alienation and grief.

Paulette Livers is the recipient of numerous awards, residencies, and fellowships. Her work has appeared in The Southwest Review, The Dos Passos Review, Spring Gun Press, and elsewhere, and can be heard at the audio-journal Bound Off. She lives with her husband in Chicago.

Please join us in welcoming Paulette Livers back to Louisville!
