WASHINGTON — Gibbs Library Reading Series: The Novel in Stories is set to begin at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9, in the Bryant Room at the 40 Old Union Road library.

Maine writers Cynthia Reeves and Laura Bonazzoli plan to discuss the novel in stories process, a fiction writing form, and read from their work.

Reeves is the author of three books of fiction: the novel in stories “Falling Through the New World,” winner of Gold Wake Press’s Fiction Award; the novel “The Last Whaler;” and the novella “Badlands,” winner of Miami University Press’s Novella Prize.

Bonazzoli’s fiction has appeared in Exposition Review, Evening Street Review, The Sandy River Review, and other literary magazines. Her novel in stories, “Consecration Pond” was published by Toad Hall Editions in 2022.

Bonazzoli has also written a more traditionally structured novel that’s currently out for submission, and is working on a third.
