Connie Willis talks about & signs Crosstalk at Page One

Colorado SF author – and Bubonicon friend – Connie Willis will talk about and sign her latest novel, Crosstalk, November 22 at Page One Books.

Her new novel is described as such: “Science fiction icon Connie Willis brilliantly mixes a speculative plot, the wit of Nora Ephron, and the comedic flair of P. G. Wodehouse in Crosstalk—a genre-bending novel that pushes social media, smartphone technology, and 24-hour availability to hilarious and chilling extremes as one young woman abruptly finds herself with way more connectivity than she ever desired. In the not-too-distant future, a simple outpatient procedure to increase empathy between romantic partners has become all the rage. And Briddey Flannigan is delighted when her boyfriend, Trent, suggests undergoing the operation prior to a marriage proposal—to enjoy better emotional connection and a perfect relationship with complete communication and understanding. But things don’t quite work out as planned, and Briddey finds herself connected to someone else entirely—in a way far beyond what she signed up for.  It is almost more than she can handle—especially when the stress of managing her all-too-eager-to-communicate-at-all-times family is already burdening her brain. But that’s only the beginning.”

So, please join one of our favorite writers 6:30 pm Tuesday, November 22, at Page One Books, southeast corner of Eubank & Juan Tabo NE (Mountain Run Shopping Center).  www.page1book.com.
