SUMMARY:Jhumpa Lahiri in conversation with Monica Seger
DESCRIPTION:City Arts & Lectures presents: Jhumpa Lahiri in conversation with Monica Seger\nTuesday\, May 18\, 2021\n6:00pm Pacific Time\nTICKETS \nThis event appears in the series\nFiction/Friction: A Miniseries \n\n\nWith compelling\, universal fluency\, Jhumpa Lahiri portrays the practical and emotional adversities of her diverse characters in elegant and direct prose. Whether describing hardships of a lonely Indian wife adapting to life in the United States or illuminating the secret pain of a young couple as they discuss their betrayals during a series of electrical blackouts\, Lahiri’s bittersweet stories are deeply compassionate\, while avoiding sentimentality. Also an accomplished translator\, Lahiri’s forthcoming novel\, Whereabouts\, is her first full-length self-translation. The book follows a woman wavering between stasis and movement\, between the need to belong and the refusal to form lasting ties\, as she wanders parks\, bridges\, piazzas\, streets\, stores\, coffee bars\, and the sidewalks around her house. Lahiri will also publish her first collection of poems in Italian\, Il quaderno di Nerina\, in 2021. Lahiri received the Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for Interpreter of Maladies\, her debut story collection that explores issues of love and identity among immigrants and cultural transplants. She is the director of Princeton University’s Program in Creative Writing. \nMonica Seger is a professor and scholar\, whose research and teaching addresses twentieth and twenty-first century Italian literature\, film and media; the environmental humanities; and gender studies. She serves as the Program Director for Italian Studies at William & Mary University\, and is affiliate faculty in the programs of Gender\, Sexuality\, and Women’s Studies; Film and Media Studies; and Environmental Science and Policy. Seger is the author of Landscapes in Between: Environmental Change in Modern Italian Literature and Film\, and is currently working on a new monograph considering narrative expressions of toxic embodiment in contemporary Italy. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Kevin McIlovy and Peter Orner
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, May 18 at 6pm PT when Kevin McIlvoy discusses his latest novel\, One Kind Favor\, with Peter Orner on Zoom!\n\nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88148839841\n\nAbout One Kind Favor\nBased loosely on a tragic real-life incident in 2014\, ONE KIND FAVOR explores the consequences of the lynching of a young black man in rural North Carolina. After the lynching of Lincoln Lennox is discovered and subsequently covered up in the small fictional community of Cord\, North Carolina\, the ghosts who frequent the all-in-one bar and consignment shop take on the responsibility of unearthing the truth and acting as the memory for the town that longs to forget and continues to hate. A reimagined Kathy Acker\, the groundbreaking literary icon\, engages Lincoln in a love triangle and brings a transgressive post-punk esthetic to the mission. The down-the-rabbit-hole satirical storytelling of ONE KIND FAVOR\, Kevin McIlvoy’s sixth novel\, echoes Appalachian ghost stories in which haunting presences will\, at last\, have their way.\n\nAbout Kevin McIlvoy\nKevin McIlvoy is the author of seven previous books: five novels\, a book of short stories\, and a book of prose poetry. He is a retired Regents Professor of Creative Writing from New Mexico State University and teaches at the Warren Wilson College MFA Program in Creative Writing. His short fiction has appeared in Harper’s\, Southern Review\, Ploughshares\, Missouri Review\, and other literary magazines. He lives in Asheville\, North Carolina.
