The One Story Cocktail Hour and Reading Series is a chance for One Story readers and One Story writers to meet, enjoy a cocktail, and mingle in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Part private party, part showcase. And just like One Story magazine, one author has the chance to take the spotlight.

Her short story "The Tennis Partner" was One Story issue #38, and was included in her recently released short story collection, Babylon and Other Stories. Alix is also the author of the novel The Missing Person. Her work has been selected for both Best New American Voices 2004 and Best American Short Stories 2005. She has received awards and fellowships from The Atlantic Monthly, the MacDowell Colony, The Kenyon Review's Writers Workshop, the Sewanee Writers' Conference, and Yaddo.
