Karen Blumenthal - In Memorium

As Dallas and the entire literary world mourn the loss of author Karen Blumenthal, Interabang Books mourns the loss of a dear friend of our store. Karen was one of the first to visit our children’s section when we opened our doors in 2017. It was immediately clear that Karen had a passion and dedication to sharing stories that needed to be told, and as the children’s book buyer I wanted to put her books in the hands of our young readers. I appreciate so much her honesty in tackling tough subjects with truth and compassion. As she was so supportive of her fellow North Texas writers, Karen introduced me to many local authors at a meeting organized at Interabang. We were fortunate to have her join us at events through the years, most recently just a few months ago. We are lucky to have the legacy of her many wonderful books, works that will continue to educate and inspire social change for generations to come.
