Novelist and art historian Karla Huebner reads from and discusses her debut novel, In Search of the Magic Theater, a tale of two very different women's devotion to the performing arts that was inspired by Hermann Hesse's classic Steppenwolf.

Karla Huebner is the author of the prize-winning Magnetic Woman: Toyen and the Surrealist Erotic (University of Pittsburgh Press), a biography of the pioneering and gender-nonconforming Czech surrealist. Her debut novel In Search of the Magic Theater (Regal House) will be followed next spring by Too Early to Know Who's Winning (Black Rose). A former (and long-time) Bay Area resident, her short fiction has appeared in many journals; she is now Professor Emerita of Art History at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.
