Adults • EWU’s Visiting Writer Series is bringing multi-genre writer Dawn Raffel to Spark Central for a reading followed by a short Q+A session. Raffel is the author of six books including a biography, The Strange Case of Dr. Couney: How a Mysterious European Showman Saved Thousands of American Babies, a memoir, The Secret Life of Objects, and most recently a novel, Boundless as the Sky.

Dawn Raffel is a writer, editor, and creative writing teacher. Her most recent book, Boundless as the Sky, came out in January, 2023. In a starred advance review, Publishers Weekly wrote, "Raffel draws inspiration from Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities and the history of Chicago’s 1933 World's Fair for this sublime collection.... This profile of a city within a city creates a Russian nesting doll of urban tableaux.... This is one to savor."
