Author Talk: Alysandra Dutton – "The Stolen Women"

Alysandra Dutton graduated in 2022 and is a novelist based in the Twin Cities. Her work has been honored by the Elizabeth George Foundation, the Walton Family Fellowship, and the British School at Rome, where she was a member of the award-holders cohort, researching The Stolen Women care of the Sturgis International Fellowship. Her work has been published by The Sun Magazine, Electric Literature, Catapult, Salt Hill Journal, and elsewhere. Currently she is a teaching artist with a number of organizations, including The Loft Literary Center, Literary Cleveland, and the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts. The Stolen Women is published by Park Row HarperCollins and is a retelling of the infamous Sabine Women myth of Ancient Rome. It follows world-weary warrior Safinia as she is drawn into the mystery of a disappeared ex-lover; on her search, she is joined by a historian with preternatural knowledge of the future, and uncovers a much vaster web of conspiracy as warring forces all seek to tell the story of Rome.
