Kathleen Rooney is the author of Live Nude Girl, a meditation about working as a nude model. Kyle Minor has published a collection of short stories about hateful ex-Communist teachers and preachers bathing their moms. And Jonathan Evison is the Bainbridge-based author of All About Lulu, a novel about a runt from a family of bodybuilders. All three are young and talented, and Evison is famous for making a big deal of his readings, often providing an "Appalachian wedding buffet" (Little Smokies, Twinkies, and other processed delectables) for everyone in attendance.
