Fiction writer Marisa Matarazzo reads from her debut collection of interlinked short stories, Drenched: Stories of Love and Other Deliriums. These stories take love to another world, where a sex fever can sweep a town, a woman and her acrobat lover swim together through her flooded apartment building, and an androgynous CEO profits from pills called The Floodgates of Love. A master of depicting love’s fluid sorcery, Matarazzo visits Scripps from Otis College, where she’s an assistant professor in the MFA writing program. 

This program is presented in partnership with the Scripps College English Department.
