Editor Brandon Stousy and visual artist Rose Lazar’s recently released anthology, Sad Happens, brings together folks from all walks of life- writers, comedians, activists, actors, drag queens, and zookeepers, bartenders, television critics… The stories collected in this book confirm that sad happens—but so does joy, love, a sense of community, and a host of other emotions.
An exhibition and public celebration of Rose Lazar’s artwork and a reading event with the artist, editor, and local writers is being planned for the 2025 Spring Quarter in collaboration with students and community members.
