Solstice Summer Reading Series: Sterling Watson

In Suitcase City, Sterling Watson’s seventh novel, a man gets himself into a little bit of trouble, then a little bit more, then a lot. And then his whole world becomes a nightmare. Set in Tampa, Florida, in the late 1980s, Suitcase City captures the glitter of the high life and the steamy essence of low places in the Cigar City. In starred reviews in Kirkus Reviews and Booklist, Watson’s latest is described as “…better than bourbon on the rocks,” and “hypnotically beautiful.” Watson will be reading from Suitcase City as part of the Solstice MFA in Creative Writing Program Summer Reading Series, Friday, July 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the Founder’s Room of Pine Manor College, 400 Heath Street, Chestnut Hill.
