Reading at Powell's Books with Leni Zumas, author of The Listeners

Wednesday, May 16, 7:30pm

Powell’s City of Books
1005 W Burnside
Portland, OR 97209

Leni Zumas’s visceral debut novel is a darkly funny and disturbing rager. Weaving a dreamlike coming-of-age story with the melancholic tales of a rock band self-destructing and a family’s loss, Zumas’s deft language careens through the lives of her characters with killer sentence after killer sentence. It’s a crushing, dazzling performance.” —Kevin Sampsell,  A Common Pornography

Corner Bookstore
1313 Madison Avenue

What Happened to Sophie Wilder is an old fashioned literary novel in the very best sense–thoughtful and intellectual, moving and well-wrought. Like its restless, yearning characters, it’s not afraid of the big questions, God and love, work and love, friendship and love, and yet the solace this impressive debut finds lies as deeply in the page as in the flesh or the spirit.  Beha has managed to produce a book that is satisfying for anyone who reads in order to live.”
