Local author and journalist Pamela Gywn Kripke discusses her award-winning new story collection, And Then You Apply Ice.  Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

“The prose is pitch-perfect, and the scenes are vivid and fresh, ironic and funny. This
collection is an absolute joyride.” —Corie Adjmi, author of The Marriage Box and Life and
Other Shortcomings

“In Pamela Gwyn Kripke’s accessible and surprising collection of stories, we glimpse into
the rich inner lives of women exploring their boundaries in the world: mothers and
daughters; lovers on the brink of connecting or falling apart; and girls discovering what it
means to move among boys who claim to love them, whether they want them to or not.
With humor and lyricism, Kripke creates characters who struggle to understand each other
and themselves.” – Elizabeth Stix, author of Things I Want Back From You

“...absolutely delightful, intriguing short stories with an edge or an attitude.” - Andrew
Pessin, author of Bright College Years

Pamela Gwyn Kripke’s work has been published in The New York Times, The
Chicago Tribune, The Dallas Morning News, Slate, Salon, The Huffington Post,
Elle, Redbook, New York, Parenting and numerous literary magazines.
