Susan Wheeler is one of those rare writers fluent in multiple genres. She reads from her simultaneously published novel Record Palace and her prize-winning collection of poems, Ledger. Jazz sings throughout Susan Wheeler’s new novel Record Palace in a story of Cindy a young woman living on the edge while earning a degree in art history in Chicago…she left her alcoholic and down and out parents in California and befriends an elderly black man named Acie, a record shop clerk… hooks up with his son and commits an usual crime. Just listen to who is singing praise of wheeler’s fiction: Record Palace is an astonishment. Susan Wheeler's deft touch an flawless ear have produced an irresistible work, both fresh and sage."—Toni Morrison Susan Wheeler also read from her new collection poems called, Ledger Part narrative, part satire, part cri de coeur,” says Marjorie Perloff, author of The Vienna Paradox.
