SUMMARY:Evening Literary Seminar: A Month in the Country\, J.L. Carr
DESCRIPTION:THIS SESSION IS ONLINE\nA Month In The Country by J. L. Carr \nKimberly has been trying to get this slim novella into your hands for over a year! After supply issues\, Carr is now ours to discuss. The perfect short novel for the waning days of the summer\, A Month concerns an English man who spends a month post World War I restoring a painting in a small country church. This prose is just so gorgeous and the story is intriguing—not to say downright strange. It will be so good to pull apart the ingenious elements of this gem. Make the most of the dog days with this delicious escape. \n(For those of you who will have read Brideshead Revisited in the summer intensive\, the two will provide a super interesting study in contrasts and similarities.) \n There are several ticket options that include books with purchase\, books shipped to home\, books picked up at Kepler’s Books or seminar only.  Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor all shipping costs will be waived for the literary seminars. The books should be read prior to the meeting date.

SUMMARY:Beth Morgan and Jean Kyoung Frazier
DESCRIPTION:JOIN US ON MONDAY\, AUGUST 23 AT 6PM PT WHEN BETH MORGAN JOINS US TO DISCUSS HER DEBUT NOVEL\, A TOUCH OF JEN\, WITH JEAN KYOUNG FRAZIER ON ZOOM! \nZoom Registration\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tG9Brd46Qsm15Z_rda5AKQ \nPraise for A Touch of Jen\n“A Touch of Jen is bananas good. Funny and sharp and surprising and bittersweet. Just [three chef’s kiss emojis].”\n—Carmen Maria Machado \n“Morgan has created a fabulous monster here\, legitimately Frankensteined herself a wicked\, unflinching\, dynamite novel out of razor-sharp dialogue\, toxic social media culture\, and the nonsense notion that the self is just another brand to be endlessly plumbed for content. Wildly hilarious and absolutely terrifying\, A Touch of Jen is truly a touch of genius. I loved every minute of it.”\n—Kristen Arnett\, New York Times bestselling author of WITH TEETH and MOSTLY DEAD THINGS \n“Morgan’s got swagger. A Touch of Jen will draw you in with its electric rhythm and razor-sharp wit\, but it will make you stay with its wild\, beating heart. I came for the blood-thirsty monsters\, I left moved by Morgan’s deep understanding of the day-to-day absurdity and pain of 21st century existence. A banger of a debut and the arrival of a bold new voice in fiction.”\n—Jean Kyoung Frazier\, author of PIZZA GIRL \nAbout A Touch of Jen\nA young couple’s toxic Instagram crush spins out of control and unleashes a sinister creature in this twisted\, viciously funny\, “bananas good” debut. (Carmen Maria Machado) \n“Um\, holy shit…This novel will be the most fun you’ll have this summer.” —Emily Temple\, Literary Hub \nRemy and Alicia\, a couple of insecure service workers\, are not particularly happy together. But they are bound by a shared obsession with Jen\, a beautiful former co-worker of Remy’s who now seems to be following her bliss as a globe-trotting jewelry designer. In and outside the bedroom\, Remy and Alicia’s entire relationship revolves around fantasies of Jen\, whose every Instagram caption\, outfit\, and new age mantra they know by heart. \nImagine their confused excitement when they run into Jen\, in the flesh\, and she invites them on a surfing trip to the Hamptons with her wealthy boyfriend and their group. Once there\, Remy and Alicia try (a little too hard) to fit into Jen’s exalted social circle\, but violent desire and class resentment bubble beneath the surface of this beachside paradise\, threatening to erupt. As small disturbances escalate into outright horror\, we find ourselves tumbling with Remy and Alicia into an uncanny alternate reality\, one shaped by their most unspeakable\, deviant\, and intoxicating fantasies. Is this what “self-actualization” looks like? \nPart millennial social comedy\, part psychedelic horror\, and all wildly entertaining\, A Touch of Jen is a sly\, unflinching examination of the hidden drives that lurk just outside the frame of our carefully curated selves. \nAbout Beth Morgan\nBeth Morgan grew up outside Sherman\, Texas and studied writing as an undergraduate at Sarah Lawrence College. She is currently completing an MFA at Brooklyn College. Her work has been published in The Iowa Review and The Kenyon Review Online.
