- **Event Description**: National Book Award finalist and Story Prize winner Jim Shepard returns to Greenlight, and to the short story, with his new collection!About this EventBook Launch: Jim Shepard presents The Queen of Bad InfluencesIn conversation with Marie-Helene BertinoWine reception to followNational Book Award finalist and Story Prize winner Jim Shepard returns to Greenlight and to the short story with his new collection, The Queen of Bad Influences! The book contains twelve compressed masterworks from this great American writer of catastrophe fiction, in which lives are upended as much by broken hearts as by collapsing dams, hideously mismanaged wars, gargantuan wildfires, and apocalyptic storms. With irony, compassion, and withering humor, these stories evoke the terrible ease with which cataclysm can sweep away all we find most precious; while, at the same time, Shepard celebrates what is best in us: the love and friendships we sustain, and the passions and grace we grant one another. Shepard reads from and discusses the book with Marie-Helene Bertino (Exit Zero, Beautyland), before an audience Q&A and signing.
