Margaret Malone is WSU’s Spring 2019 visiting emerging writer, and the author of People Like You, a 2016 Pen Hemingway finalist. Her mesmerizing and luminous sentences open up the lives of ordinary characters with ordinary hopes—that parents will get back together; that a veggie burrito with extra sour cream will help against loneliness. Malone’s stories, Cheryl Strayed observed, “shimmer and burn with beauty and sorrow, generosity and wit.” Writing Now/Reading Now is cosponsored by the WSU Department of English. Fairmount College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, Watermark Books & CafeÌ, and the Ulrich Museum of Art.
