Just a quick note to let folks know that Christopher Barzak, whose novel "The Love We Share Without Knowing" was short-listed for the Tiptree Award last year, will be in Seattle this Friday, March 12th, at 7 pm to read at University Book Store.  He's never read in Seattle before and is a hot young writer who graduated from Clarion East and studied with Jonathan Lethum.
