Book Launch: Brett Ann Stanciu
Tuesday, June 30th, 7 PM
Join us in celebrating the launch of Hardwick writer Brett Stanciu's new novel, Call it Madness. We are excited to co-host this event with the Galaxy Bookshop!
Stanciu reflects on her new novel: "In my third book, the novel Call It Madness, the millennial heroine, Avah Lavoie, believes her life has reached a dull, dead-end. Then, unexpectedly, her estranged mother phones with news of her great-grandfather’s death. Avah sets out in her Toyota Matrix for an inherited ramshackle Vermont house. She’s fiercely determined to understand how her life was shaped by buried family secrets: a sawmill accident, a mother who overdosed, a missing father. This third book delves into my fullest range as a writer and a woman, digging at the thorniness of life while also reveling in the world’s serendipitous beauty."
Brett Stanciu is the author of Hidden View and Unstitched, a work of non-fiction. Recipient of a 2020 Vermont Arts Council Creation Grant and a 2024 Fellowship to the Vermont Studio Center for the Arts, Stanciu lives in Hardwick, Vermont, in a century-old house built for granite workers and surrounded by lilacs.
