Two great readings are happening in Chicago tonight – MAY 12.  Four dudes, two neighborhoods – one chance only?

Let’s break it down like this:

Prefer fiction? Head down to 57th St. Books (1301 East 57th Street) at 6:30pm to hear not one, but TWO MAKE contributors read from their new book both out from Coffee House Press.

Aaron Michael Morales

reads from Drowning Tuscon – which includes a story first featured in MAKE. Read El Camino from issue 1.

Travis Nichols

(issue 6 and STEAM, a film with Dean Rank) reads from his new novel about generational divides, World War II, and a quest for truth Off We Go Into the Wild Blue Yonder
