Where can one witness 14 local powerhouse authors discussing their writing together in one place, other than at the Las Vegas Writes event, sponsored by Nevada Humanities? This year’s installment, published (as usual) to coincide with the Las Vegas Book Festival, is titled Feather Shows: Las Vegas Writers on Movies, TV, and Other Spectacles. The story collection focuses not only on visitors to Sin City, but also the locals who daily find themselves navigating a complicated, oxymoronic, town. And if you recognize some names, that’s because they — namely, Delight Chinenye Ejiaka and Mike Weatherford — have contributed to Desert Companion, too. To get to know one of the Feather Shows writers (and the anthology editor) better, click here for a review of Jarret Keene’s recently published dystopian novel, Hammer of the Dogs.
