SUMMARY:Author Reading: Karol Lagodzki
DESCRIPTION:Join Karol Lagodzki on September 28th at 2pm for a reading\, discussion\, and signing of their book\, ‘Controlled Conversations’!\n\n\nJoin Karol Lagodzki  on September 28th at Indy Reads from 2-4pm for a reading\, discussion\, and signing of his book: Controlled Conversations. \nThere will be a reading\, discussion\, Q&A session\, and  signing to follow. \nThis event is recommended for all ages. \nAll proceeds from book sales at Indy Reads support our English literacy programming. \n\n\n\nControlled Conversations \nIn 1982 Soviet-controlled Poland—a time and place of suspicion and mistrust—when geopolitical forces and violent men descend upon her little town of Zygmuntowo\, Emilia must decide if she’s willing to risk prison or worse for self-respect and for her unexpected lover.   \nOrdered to monitor the calls she connects\, Emilia\, a telephone switchboard operator\, overhears a mysterious coded conversation. It continues to distract her\, but not as much as the growing realization that she’s falling in unsanctioned love with her best friend Kalina. Meanwhile\, outside the city of Frombork\, Antek\, a shipyard engineer and a Solidarity labor union treasurer\, escapes from prison and works to recover the union’s money\, a task which in time leads him to Emilia’s town. In the metropolitan city of Gdańsk\, Roman\, a secret police major\, wants the money for himself and dreams of his own escape and the magical beaches of Rio de Janeiro.   \nThe only daughter of a local Communist Party apparatchik\, Emilia has enjoyed a sheltered life\, but with the advent of martial law\, her mother’s influence can no longer shield her. She faces choices she never expected to make when she discovers her best friend’s and lover’s involvement with the resistance. With new allies and enemies in town\, the time to choose a side is now.  \nIn his debut novel\, Karol Lagodzki asks: What separates people who transcend their fear and take risks for the sake of change from the rest of us? The answer is up to the readers.  \n\n\n\nMeet the Author: Karol Lagodzki \nKarol Lagodzki\, a native of Poland\, is an exophonic\, English-language author of fiction. His stories have appeared in Invisible City\, Storm Cellar\, NUNUM\, Streetlight Magazine\, and elsewhere\, and he has won Panel Magazine’s Ruritania Prize for Short Fiction. Controlled Conversations is his debut novel.  \nHe holds an MFA in creative writing\, buys more books than he can read or afford—usually novels and short story collections\, though he’s been known to pick up an odd book of poetry or accessible science—and gives back to the literary community by serving as a reader for several journals. Karol’s non-writing careers have ranged from fixing stucco while dangling from roofs in Paris to sorting through human cadaver heads in Florida to developing and marketing medical devices for critically ill people in the American Midwest\, but his true ambition is to remain a student for as long as he possibly can and make sure more stories make it out onto the page.  \nKarol lives halfway down a Southern Indiana ravine with his wonderful\, unconventional family\, a scurry of squirrels\, a passel of possums\, a gaze of raccoons\, a descent of woodpeckers\, and a large dog.  \n\n\n\nThis event is Pay-What-You-Can.
