SUMMARY:Michael Chabon
DESCRIPTION:In Conversation with Isabel Duffy. \nSeries: “On Arts” Benefiting 826 Valencia Scholarship Program. \nAn “immensely gifted writer and magical prose stylist” (Michiko Kakutani\, The New York Times)\, Michael Chabon is celebrated for his remarkable ability to transport his readers.  His many novels include The Mysteries of Pittsburgh\, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union\, Wonder Boys\, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay\, and Telegraph Avenue. His most recent\, Moonglow\, is based on stories he was told by his ailing grandfather during a visit in 1989. It is part novel\, part memoir\, in which he has “stuck to facts except when facts refused to conform with memory\, narrating purpose\, or the truth as I prefer to understand it. Wherever liberties have been taken … the reader is assured that they have been taken with due abandon.”  The book follows his grandparents as their lives weave through much of the 20th century. \nYou can purchase tickets online.

SUMMARY:Josephine Rowe
DESCRIPTION:Josephine Rowe discusses her new novel\, A Loving\, Faithful Animal. \n\nPraise for A Loving\, Faithful Animal \n\n“A subtle and haunting meditation on childhood\, escape\, the bonds and the limits of family\, and the long reach of trauma. Rowe is a serious talent\, and her debut novel is both gorgeous and stunning.” —Emily St. John Mandel\, author of Station Eleven \n“A Loving\, Faithful Animal lured me in with astonishing\, poetic prose\, and a glimpse of an Australia I don’t always see in fiction. But the true thrill of the novel is the carousel of haunting characters Josephine Rowe creates with unbelievable precision. An unflinching look at the ways we fail the people we love\, at the cruelty of family\, its toxicity\, and beauty. The book is a deep\, multi-faceted portrait of the inheritance of damage\, one that left me aching and inspired.” —Stephanie Danler\, New York Times bestselling author of Sweetbitter \n“Josephine Rowe writes like someone who\, having been quiet a long time\, has thought carefully and viciously about what must be said. In this flinty debut\, Rowe fashions a string of refractory surfaces―the family members of a veteran―to remind us just how far\, into love and time\, the atrocity of war will reach.” ―Kathleen Alcott\, author of Infinite Home \n\nAbout A Loving\, Faithful Animal \nIt is New Year’s Eve 1990\, in a small town in southeast Australia. Ru’s father\, Jack\, one of thousands of Australians once conscripted to serve in the Vietnam War\, has disappeared. This time Ru thinks he might be gone for good. As rumors spread of a huge black cat stalking the landscape beyond their door\, the rest of the family is barely holding on. Ru’s sister\, Lani\, is throwing herself into sex\, drugs\, and dangerous company. Their mother\, Evelyn\, is escaping into memories of a more vibrant youth. And meanwhile there is Les\, Jack’s inscrutable brother\, who seems to move through their lives like a ghost\, earning both trust and suspicion. \n  \nA Loving\, Faithful Animal is an incandescent portrait of one family searching for what may yet be redeemable from the ruins of war. Tender\, brutal\, and heart-stopping in its beauty\, this novel marks the arrival in the United States of Josephine Rowe\, the winner of the 2016 Elizabeth Jolley Prize and one of Australia’s most extraordinary young writers. \n
