No One Is Here Except All of Us (Riverhead)

We're pleased to present debut novelist Ramona Ausubel for a reading and signing of her beautiful and riveting novel No One Is Here Except All of Us. "Here is a world created out of the most curious and beautiful remnants of our own: opera, suitcases, letters, rivers, daughters, strangers, and shovels. Ramona Ausubel cracks open the very idea of a book and fills its shell with a thing glimmering, thrilling, and new." — Samantha Hunt, author of The Invention of Everything Else "A special work of the imagination, an original gift, dark and light, and Ramona Ausubel colors it all with a glowing wisdom." — Ron Carlson, author of Five Skies "A wise, compassionate book that even in its darkest turns uplifts." — Christine Schutt, National Book Award finalist for Florida and Pulitzer Prize finalist for All Souls "Ausubel has written a riveting, otherworldly story about an all-too-real war and the transformative power of community." — Library Journal Ramona Ausubel grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She holds an MFA from the University of California, Irvine where she won the Glenn Schaeffer Award in Fiction and served as editor of Faultline Journal of Art & Literature. Her work has been published in The New Yorker, One Story, The Paris Review Daily, and Best American Fantasy. Her work has also received special mentions in Best American Short Stories and Best American Nonrequired Reading. Ausubel was also a finalist for the Pushcart Prize. She lives in Santa Barbara, California. Photo of the author by Twin Lens Images. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS FEBRUARY 10, 2012.
