Local Author Talk: Jared Bentley

Location: YDL-Michigan

Meet local author Jared Bentley! He will read from his debut short story collection "Robots, Please" which was published in February 2025. From his website, Jared explains:

"Robots, Please is a collection of short stories that explores absurdity. Each story pokes fun at its world and examines a familiar societal flaw. The collection mulls over other themes like art, addiction, foolishness, friendship, parenthood, paranoia, and the duality of life and death.

Robots, Please also features robots. Through their inner circuitry, we may better understand what it means to be human. Or not. I guess we’ll see. You may gasp. You may cry. You will most certainly laugh. If not, you should have your behavioral system recalibrated."
