The Southington Public Library will be holding a contemporary fiction discussion series with Patricia D’Ascoli. Contemporary fiction normally focuses on giving readers a window into some corner of everyday experience and showing what it would be like to walk in someone else’s shoes. Some of the stories may be politically motivated or designed to raise social awareness, while others exist purely for entertainment. D’Ascoli is an award-winning journalist whose work has been published in Connecticut Magazine, News-Times, and Greater New Milford Spectrum. She publishes the Connecticut Muse which includes a calendar of literary events and information about new releases by Connecticut authors. D’Ascoli earned her M.S. in English from Southern Connecticut State University and was a recipient of a graduate research fellowship and winner of the inaugural graduate commencement speech writing contest. She works as an adjunct professor at Lincoln College of New England. The books are available to borrow from the library. Registration is required.
