Newport Beach Library :: Literacy Happy Hour with Aimee Bender


Happy Hour with Aimee Bender
Literally Speaking: Nov/Dec 2018

Bestselling author Aimee Bender joined Newport/Mesa ProLiteracy on October 6th for Newport/Mesa ProLiteracy’s (NMPL) 3rd Annual Happy Hour. Over 100 guests mingled in the Bamboo Courtyard under the evening sky.

Aimee Bender was delightful while chatting with fans of her work. She signed copies of her best-sellers: The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, The Color Master and The Girl in the Flammable Skirt. After lively conversations over wine and cheese, guests made their way into the Friends Room for the Author Talk.

Aimee began with her experience living in Newport Beach as she worked on her MFA in Creative Writing at the University of California, Irvine. She continued to speak about her influences, and made it clear that she is a proud proponent of the Fairy Tale.

As a young author, Aimee was reluctant to write her surrealist plots within an industry where realist stories thrived. She was worried her work would not be taken seriously. Upon receiving encouragement at UCI to treat Fairy Tales as significant works of literature, Aimee wrote with confidence. Her short stories and novels are filled with magical realism that intertwines the mundane, everyday acts of life with fantastical, whimsical elements.  READ MORE >>
