Diesel, A Bookstore in Malibu is honored to host Evgenia Citkowitz as she discusses and signs her debut collection, Ether: Seven Stories and a Novella, on Saturday, September 11 at 4pm. “These stories are totally unique: they’re at once strange and graceful, macabre and funny. Evgenia Citkowitz burrows so deep inside her characters’ heads, she evokes feelings and impulses that become impossible to distinguish from our own. She understands that deep down, even in our own homes, we all feel like outsiders.” -- —Noah Baumbach Evgenia Citkowitz was born in New York and was educated in London and the United States. Her short stories have been published in various British magazines. Her screenplay The House in Paris, based on Elizabeth Bowen’s novel, is currently in development.
