SUMMARY:Tessa Hadley returns to Mrs. Dalloway's to read from her new novel\, Late in the Day.
DESCRIPTION:“Perceptive\, finely wrought….Hadley is a writer of the first order\, and this novel gives her the opportunity to explore\, with profound incisiveness and depth\, the inevitable changes inherent to long-lasting marriages.”– Publishers Weekly \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Late in the Day by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe lives of two close-knit couples are irrevocably changed by an untimely death in this latest from Hadley. Alexandr and Christine and Zachary and Lydia have been friends since they first met in their twenties. Thirty years later\, Alex and Christine are spending a leisurely summer’s evening at home when they receive a call from a distraught Lydia: she is at the hospital. Zach is dead.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the wake of this profound loss\, the three friends find themselves unmoored; all agree that Zach\, with his generous\, grounded spirit\, was the irreplaceable one they couldn’t afford to lose. Inconsolable\, Lydia moves in with Alex and Christine. But instead of loss bringing them closer\, the three of them find over the following months that it warps their relationships\, as old entanglements and grievances rise from the past\, and love and sorrow give way to anger and bitterness. \nLate in the Day explores the complex webs at the center of our most intimate relationships\, to expose how\, beneath the seemingly dependable arrangements we make for our lives\, lie infinite alternate configurations. Ingeniously moving between past and present and through the intricacies of her characters’ thoughts and interactions\, Tessa Hadley once again “crystallizes the atmosphere of ordinary life in prose somehow miraculous and natural.” (Washington Post) \nTessa Hadley is the author of five highly praised novels: Accidents in the Home\, Everything Will Be All Right; The Master Bedroom; The London Train\, and Clever Girl\, and two short story collections\, Sunstroke and Married Love. Her stories appear regularly in The New Yorker. She lives in London.

SUMMARY:Sarah Stone in Conversation with Sylvia Brownrigg discussing Stone's new novel\, Hungry Ghost Theater
DESCRIPTION:“a thrilling hybrid of a novel about the intricacies of family life and the inevitable handing down from one generation to the next of our deepest passions and pathologies. . . . both marvelously inventive and deeply humane.”–Ann Packer \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Hungry Ghost Theater by speaking to a bookseller. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn inventive\, funny\, sometimes heart-breaking exploration of the connections between hunger and art\, duty and desire\, and\nloss and survival. Brother and sister Robert and Julia Zamarin are trying to awaken the world to its peril with their tiny political theater company\, while their sister Eva\, a neuroscientist\, searches for the biological roots of empathy. As Julia attempts to break free of Robert’s influence\, Robert\, as lost without her as she is without him\, takes on dark material and drives away members\nof their company. Meanwhile\, the whole family contends with the ongoing troubles of Eva’s youngest daughter\, Arielle\, as she struggles with addiction. The adventures of the eccentric\, memorable Zamarin family take the reader from San Francisco to Seoul\, from theater spaces to psychiatric hospitals\, from Zanzibar to the Santa Cruz mountains\, and into and through a series of Sumerian and Tibetan hells. \nSarah Stone’s is the author of The True Sources of the Nile. Her stories\, essays\, and reviews have appeared in Ploughshares\,\nStoryQuarterly\, The Believer\, The Millions\, and The Writer’s Chronicle\, among other places. She teaches creative writing for Stanford Continuing Studies and the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers. Visit her online at www.sarahstoneauthor.com. \nSylvia Brownrigg is the author of Pages for You and Pages for Her.
