Asheville author Emma Ensley will share her debut story collection, THE COMPUTER ROOM, at City Lights on Sunday, September 7th at 1:00pm.
The Computer Room, Emma Ensley's stunning debut collection of short stories, captures messy, heartfelt, and often surreal moments of coming of age in small-town America in the early days of the internet.
Through 12 unforgettable stories, Ensley brings to life the joys, fears, and complexities of adolescence and early adulthood—where first loves, friendships, and the search for identity collide with messy bedrooms, teenage rebellion, and the quiet hum of the family computer. Ensley’s sharp, heartfelt writing makes you laugh, reflect, and feel connected to those fleeting moments of youth when everything seemed both endlessly possible and impossibly confusing.
Emma Ensley is a fiction writer, artist, and graphic designer living in Asheville, North Carolina. She grew up in North Georgia and on the internet, and considers both places equally influential to her work. Her short fiction has appeared in Joyland, The Quarterless Review, and Peach Mag. The Computer Room is her debut collection.
