You’re invited: Three Alarm Fire Launch Party

On October 22nd, a highly anticipated event to celebrate the launch of local author Juan Carlos Reyes’ debut story collection! Three Alarm Fire is a collection of stories about how cities can shape us, and how love can redeem us. The event is hosted by Elliot Bay Book Company, from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

Reyes was able to create a debut fiction collective with a diverse set of characters and experiences, that examines the range of grief and healing we navigate as Americans. Reyes explores themes of immigration, identity, family legacy, sexuality, trauma, and what belonging means, as well as the cultural tensions between us that can be downright explosive. By turns tragic and heart felt, arresting and funny, Three Alarm Fire is a microcosm of modern life, and it introduces readers to an incisive new voice in contemporary fiction.

Many thanks to Spice Waala for generously catering this event, and complementary wine will be available! Come on by, don't miss this incredible chance to hear from Juan Carlos Reyes and Jane Wong, and support your local authors.
