SUMMARY:Elinor Lipman
DESCRIPTION:At thirty-two\, Faith Frankel has returned to her claustro-suburban hometown\, where she writes institutional thank-you notes for her alma mater. It’s a peaceful life\, really\, and surely with her recent purchase of a sweet bungalow on Turpentine Lane her life is finally on track. Never mind that her fiance is off on a crowdfunded cross-country walk\, too busy to return her texts (but not too busy to post photos of himself with a different woman in every state). And never mind her witless boss\, or a mother who lives too close\, or a philandering father who thinks he’s Chagall.When she finds some mysterious artifacts in the attic of her new home\, she wonders whether anything in her life is as it seems. What good fortune\, then\, that Faith has found a friend in affable\, collegial Nick Franconi\, officemate par excellence . . .Elinor Lipmanmay well have invented the screwball romantic comedy for our era\, and here she is at her sharpest and best. On Turpentine Lane is funny\, poignant\, and a little bit outrageous. \nElinor Lipman is the author of ten novels\, including The View from Penthouse B and The Inn at Lake Devine;one essay collection\, I Can’t Complain; and Tweet Land of Liberty: Irreverent Rhymes from the Political Circus. She lives in Massachusetts and New York City. \n

SUMMARY:Yiyun Li
DESCRIPTION:Yiyun Li reads from her memoir\, Dear Friend\, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life. \n\n\n\n\n“In this exquisite\, intimate\, lyrical memoir\, Yiyun Li reveals her life in flashes appended to an arrestingly coherent philosophy of time\, self\, and place. Uniting the discipline of a scientist with the empathy of a novelist\, she scatters profound and often difficult truths through these generous\, wise\, challenging pages.”– Andrew Solomon\, author of The Noonday Demon and Far from the Tree \n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, February 22\, 2017 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nIn her first nonfiction book\, award-winning novelist Yiyun Li explores the questions we ask ourselves as readers and writers\, as citizens and solitary travelers\, as parents and children: How does one make life livable? How do writing and reading bring us solace\, and help us embrace the conflicts of our daily reality? Tracing the course of her life from China to America\, and from biologist to writer\, Li reflects with startling generosity and humanity on the writers who have shaped her—William Trevor\, Katherine Mansfield\, Marianne Moore\, Ivan Turgenev\, Stefan Zweig\, and more. \nYiyun Li is the author of four works of fiction: Kinder Than Solitude\, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers\, The Vagrants\, and Gold Boy\, Emerald Girl. A native of Beijing and a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, she is the recipient of many awards. In 2007\, Granta named her one of the best American novelists under thirty-five. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker\, A Public Space\, The Best American Short Stories\, and The O. Henry Prize Stories\, among others. She teaches writing at the UC\, Davis\, and lives in Oakland with her husband and their two sons.
