This is a bookmark Saunders Tóibín Vásquez Dear Friends,

One thing I am grateful for, particularly in a political season, is a compelling story or poem that, by its very nature, will not be reduced to platitude or hyperbole. All the more reason to keep reading.

There are other reasons. I love Kafka’s admonition (in a letter to a friend) that “a book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.” The best literary works tend to reach into us and rearrange our inner lives. We experience the world from another point of view and work to accommodate meanings that enlarge us, if we’re lucky.

Thus we are proud that for 35 years, together, we have built a reading series here in Houston which is the equal of any in the nation and keeps us on our toes. Season 36 is no exception, with a diverse roster of ten extraordinary writers, most of whom will present new works that we hope will delight you. We are also thrilled to be back at the beautifully renovated Alley Theatre for most of the readings.

Thank you as always for joining us in the journey. We anticipate our further adventures, plumbing the joys and mysteries of the written word. See you at the readings.

Cheers,
