Short stories from an alumna

labozzetta_menMen Who Walk in Dreams (Guernica Editions, 2024) is a collection of short stories where men and women cling to ambitions, thwarted love, and misguided assumptions, as they dream to reinvent themselves, seek revenge, foresee the future, recapture that which has escaped their grasp, or merely survive. Written by 1971 Boston College graduate Grace Marisa Labozzetta, Men Who Walk in Dreams will take readers from El Salvador to Cape Cod to Antarctica, from a secluded Italian Snake Festival to a packed subway car to a World War II bomber. Her story “The Woman Who Drew on Walls,” from this new short story collection, was a New Millennium Writings Fiction Award Finalist. Labozzetta is the author of three novels (Sometimes It Snows in America, A Day in June, and Stay With Me, Lella,) and two previous works of short fiction (At the Copa and Thieves Never Steal in the Rain). She is a John Gardner Fiction Book Award Finalist and Pushcart Prize nominee. Her novel, A Day in June, was shortlisted for the 2020 Eric Hoffer Grand Prize Award.
