 Readings Series Presents
An Intimate Evening
with Victoria Redel

We welcome you to this intimate reading series that brings together some of the best contemporary writers and poets with the Village Zendo. The Reading Series is held once a month on Wednesday evenings. The series is curated by Koshin Paley Ellison.

Redel is the author of two books of poetry and three books of fiction. Her latest novel The Border of
Truth
(2007) weaves the situation of refugees and a daughter’s awakening to the history and secrets of her father’s survival and loss. It is a 2007 Barnes and Noble Discovery Book. The LA Times said, “The
Border of Truth
is such a good novel that it could also be any American’s Story.” Loverboy (2001), was awarded the 2001 S. Mariella Gable Novel Award and the 2002 Forward Silver Literary Fiction Prize and was chosen in 2001 as a Los Angeles Times Best Book. Loverboy was adapted for a feature film directed by Kevin Bacon. Library Journal said of Loverboy “Redel writes like an angel about the darkest edge of obsession” Her fiction and poetry have been widely anthologized. Redel’s work has been translated into five languages. Her most recent collection of poems, Swoon (2003), was a finalist for the James Laughlin Award.
