SUMMARY:In Conversation: On Sorry for Your Trouble & Snow
DESCRIPTION:In Sorry for Your Trouble\, a collection of short stories\, Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Ford offers a moving meditation on memory\, love\, and loss. From a 16-year-old fatherless boy in “Displaced” to the fiftysomething widower suddenly navigating life alone and untethered in “The Run of Yourself\,” Ford’s protagonists are all mourning\, both the people who are no longer there and the lives they no longer have – or perhaps never did. Joining him is iconic Irish novelist John Banville discussing his latest work\, Snow\, a dark thriller that kicks off with the murder – and castration – of a Catholic priest in a country manor.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: on Self-Destructive Acts & Prodigals
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Beha‘s The Index of Self-Destructive Acts is a sharp family portrait\, a masterful evocation of New York City and its institutions\, and an exploration of how each generation’s failure helped land us where we are today. He’s speaking with Greg Jackson\, whose debut fiction work Prodigals is populated by strivers\, misfits\, and children of privilege\, all hewing to passion and perversity in their quest for a sense of meaning and even just a sliver of authenticity.

SUMMARY:An Evening With Terry McMillan & Glory Edim
DESCRIPTION:Live program + Q&A! Starts @ 8:30 p.m. EST. \nIn It’s Not All Downhill From Here\, Terry McMillan’s 10th consecutive New York Times bestselling work of fiction\, Loretha Curry is on the eve of her 68th birthday and has much to be happy about: a booming beauty-supply empire\, lifelong friends\, and a husband who still surprises her – and she’s determined to prove anyone with an outdated view of aging\, wrong. But when her world abruptly goes sideways\, Loretta must reimagine\, and realize\, a brand-new life. \nHailed by Publishers Weekly as “Lively and perceptive” and by the San Francisco Chronicle as “a funny and honest portrait of a woman\, late in life\, finding second chances\,” McMillan’s latest is a paean to the resilience and pragmatism of women\, something she discusses with conversation partner Glory Edim\, founder of the Well-Read Black Girl digital platform and editor of the printed anthology of the same name. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:An Evening With Roddy Doyle & Roger Rosenblatt
DESCRIPTION:Event starts Tuesday\, November 17 @ 5 p.m. EST \nLong-ago drinking buddies\, now married with adult children\, meet up in a Dublin pub and spend a long\, drawn-out night reconciling divergent versions of the past in Roddy Doyle‘s Love. The reunion is at times stifling\, bogged down by the passage of time but also by the keeping of a secret – a secret that once revealed throws everything into blinding relief. Doyle is joined by writer and essayist Roger Rosenblatt\, author of the just released Cold Moon: On Life\, Love\, and Responsibility\, a meditative exploration on a long and full life hailed by Kirkus as “a tonic for tough times filled with plainspoken lyricism\, gratitude\, and good humor.” \nSponsored by:
