SUMMARY:Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich / The Fact of a Body
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich for her murder-memoir ten years in the making\, The Fact of a Body. Please join us! \n  \nWhen she applied to Harvard Law School\, Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich wrote her admissions essay about her staunch opposition to the death penalty. The child of two lawyers\, her position had always been clear in her mind. So when she finds herself at her first summer internship at a New Orleans law firm that is working on the re-trial of death-row convicted murderer and child molester Ricky Langley\, she feels ready to begin her life’s work. \nBut when she watches the tape of Ricky’s confession\, she is overcome by one thought: she wants him to die. Shocked by her reaction\, Alexandria digs deeper and deeper into the case and realizes that something about this story\, so seemingly distant from her own suburban upbringing in New Jersey\, is uncannily familiar. As she pores over the details of the trial and the complicated narrative of Ricky’s childhood\, she is forced to face her own story\, to unearth long-buried family secrets\, and to reckon with how her own past colors her view of Ricky’s crime. \nThrough Alexandria’s meticulously researched and vividly reconstructed telling of Ricky’s story and her deeply personal investigation into her own past\, it becomes clear that she isn’t the only one using her own memories to understand the case. Everyone—from the judge to the jury foreman to the defense attorney to Ricky’s own mother—sees what happened through the lens of their own experience. \n\n\n  \n“The balancing act here performed between autobiography and journalism\, documentary and imagination\, witnessing and reckoning\, the tender and the terrible\, is shrewd and graceful…Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich has given us an exquisite and exquisitely difficult work of art that makes a fierce claim on our attention\, conscience\, and heart.” — Maggie Nelson\, NBCC award-winning author of The Argonauts \n  \n\n\n  \nAlexandria Marzano-Lesnevich was awarded numerous fellowships to write this book\, including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship\, a Rona Jaffe Award\, and fellowships to the MacDowell Colony and Yaddo. Her essays and short fiction have appeared in The New York Times\, Oxford American\, Salon\, and the anthology True Crime. She has a JD from Harvard\, an MFA from Emerson and a BA from Columbia University. Alexandria currently lives in Boston\, Massachusetts\, where she teaches memoir writing at Grub Street and graduate public policy students at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
