Ohio book cover

Writers’ Workshop graduate Stephen Markley will read from his new novel, Ohio. On one fateful summer night in 2013, four former classmates converge on the rust belt town where they grew up, each haunted by regrets, secrets, and lost loves. “[A] standout debut ... Markley’s novel is alternately disturbing and gorgeous, providing a broad view of the anxieties of a post-9/11 Middle America and the complexities of the humans who navigate them.” —Publishers Weekly

Stephen Markley is the author of the memoir Publish This Book: The Unbelievable True Story of How I Wrote, Sold, and Published This Very Book, and the travelogue Tales of Iceland. He lives in Los Angeles.
