Ramona Ausubel discusses and signs "No One Is Here Except All of Us" at Diesel Bookstore

Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes debut novelist Ramona Ausubel to the store to discuss and sign her new book, No One Is Here Except All of Us, on February 17th at 7pm.

In 1939, the families in a remote Jewish village in Romania feel the war close in on them. Their tribe has moved and escaped for thousands of years - across oceans, deserts, and mountains - but now there is nowhere else to go. At the suggestion of an eleven-year-old girl and a mysterious stranger who has washed up on the riverbank, the villagers decide to reinvent the world by denying any relationship with the known and starting over from scratch.

In addition to No One Is Here Except All of Us, Ramona Ausubel is the author of the forthcoming short story collection A Guide to Being Born. She holds an MFA from UC Irvine, and her work has appeared in the New Yorker, One Story, Green Mountains Review, pax americana, The Orange Coast Review, Slice, and has been collected in The Best American Fantasy and online in The Paris Review. She lives in Santa Barbara, California.
