Join us at Maxima Hive in Arlington for an evening with local author Michael M. Brownstein as he celebrates the release of his debut novella, Paperbacks & Baguettes: Stories Between Us. The evening will feature an author conversation, a short reading, audience Q&A, a book signing, and light refreshments. 

ABOUT THE BOOK

Inspired by Brownstein's years managing a bookstore café, Paperbacks & Baguettes: Stories
Between Us is a novella-in-flash about the quiet ways books, familiar places, and everyday
encounters bring people together. Told through interconnected scenes, it follows the staff,
customers, and regulars of a bookstore café as ordinary moments gradually become meaningful.
