Nashville-based author Lydia Peelle will read from and sign copies of her debut short story collection, Reasons for and Advantages of Breathing. Ann Patchett writes, "Lydia Peelle has given us a collection of stories so artfully constructed and deeply imagined they read like classics. It marks the beginning of what will surely be a long and beautiful career." Peelle's stories have won an O. Henry Prize and two Pushcart Prizes and have been featured twice in Best New American Voices.
