A Noon Reading by Novelist Kate Racculia

The novelist Kate Racculia will read from her fiction.   Her most recent novel is Bellweather Rhapsody (Houghton Mifflin 2014).  In January she received the Alex Award from the American Libraries Association.  Here are a few recent responses to her fiction:

"Bellweather Rhapsody is funny and exuberant, twisty and captivating. Racculia tells the truth here, about art and life and the many trajectories that talent can take. She's also written the most resonant descriptions of music—how it really works in the head and the heart—that I've ever read. For its darkness and its glee, I loved this novel."  —Robin Sloan, author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore

"Witty and smartly moving, Kate Racculia's Bellweather Rhapsody offers a heart-thumping mystery of music and murder, wherein the past repeats itself, and in doing so becomes malleable again: just as an orchestral score can be rearranged to new effect, so an unsolved crime sometimes returns to shock and surprise anew—and in both cases the outcomes are as unpredictable as they are suspenseful." —Matt Bell, author of In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods

"This rich brew of a novel from Racculia (This Must Be the Place) mixes together murder, music, and eccentric humor." —Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
